Not recommended, since those versions are really old and mostly unsupported. > > This is noted as a known problem. Is anyone working on fixing > it (other than the note to use "Neep")? The problem is most probably deep within the bowels of Qt and xft/fontconfig. Depending on the installed fonts on the system, it matches different fonts to konsole's requested font - and that's a feature. So, depending on perspective, it's either a bug that's outside the scope of KDE, or there's a design flaw in Konsole (in that it tries to get a specific font from Qt in the way it does). > Is there any guess on when it will be fixed? No, so I really suggest to use Neep - or some other font you can set via the Settings/Font/Custom menu. -- ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | [EMAIL PROTECTED] (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org
