Hello, I'm experiencing Karsten's problem on all of my machines. This is indeed very ugly (though easily worked around).
The font that is actually displayed in konsole is file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/12x13ja.pcf.gz! I wrote a small test program, based on the konsole font selection code, without having much clue: #include <qfont.h> #include <qapplication.h> #include <cstdio> int main( int argc, char **argv ) { QApplication app(argc, argv, true); QFont f; f.setFamily("fixed"); f.setFixedPitch(true); f.setStyleHint(QFont::TypeWriter); f.setPixelSize(13); QFontInfo fi(f); printf("fam: s, pxlSz: %d, ptSz: %d, italic: %d, weight: %d\n", fi.pixelSize(), fi.pointSize(), fi.italic(), fi.weight() ); printf("bold: %d, fixedPitch: %d\n", fi.bold(), fi.fixedPitch() ); printf("Qt Fontstring is: %s\n", f.toString().latin1() ); printf("XLFD is: %s\n", f.rawName().latin1() ); return 0; } Then, I straced this one and up came: open("/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/12x13ja.pcf.gz", O_RDONLY) = 7 Which is something like -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-13-120-75-75-c-120-iso10646-1 (this avgWdth-120 variant is suited for Japanese display, while its avgWdth-70 or -80 variants would indeed make good default konsole fonts) I'm also not sure whether I grok everything in the void Konsole::setFont(int fontno); method (konsole.cpp, 3.3.1, line 1752). Can anyone help? (probably an upstream problem?) -Malte -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
