Even so, to make KDE work with fixed-width AA fonts you need to supply a preferred fixed-width font in the XftConfig file (which will then be used with konsole, etc.). This is what I believe is more difficult; I don't see that we can really require that every user has the M$ font Courier New, or Andale Mono or whatever.
