No, the solution to this problem is not to tell new Debian users how to fix it manually but to have the default installatoion free of bugs. This means installing xfonts-konsole by default and enabling bitmapped fonts by default. > the fontconfig issue 'enable bitmapped fonts by default' should be, if at > all, in a separate bug report OK, I will file two new bug reports if you wish so. But I am quite new to the Debian BTS and have a small problem: What is the correct package in BTS to report that missing xfonts-konsole? Ronny
