How did you reproduce it with MDK 8.2? The reason I ask is, there was a sudden outbreak of this problem here on the cooker list when freetype2 was updated. Coincidence? Perhaps, but the problem happened *immediately* after the update. When I logged back in after updating freetype2, my konsole had the s t r e t c h e d font problem - though the assigned font was just the "medium" size from the Konsole menu, nothing TrueType about it, except that it looked like Courier (Bold), which I had not been using. I hadn't even been using a Courier font. In fact, since updating a few more packages from the cooker (not sure which one fixed the problem) I'm not using the Unicode font in Konsole, but rather the Adobe Courier (I change fonts a lot, and it felt right this time). The default Konsole fonts are still toast. This leads me to believe that it *is* a new problem, but now you introduce doubt. And I had it so neatly wrapped up in a little package. Sigh. Perhaps it is an old problem that had been fixed but has returned?
