When I was trying to find out why konsole never used these fonts, I discovered that fontconfig matched a japanese font in preference to these anyway. This was to do with them both having the "family name" of "fixed" (the other font is in xfonts-base which has to be installed with an xserver). I suspect there is a random choice based upon which order directories are searched. I ended up adding some lines into the /etc/fonts/local.conf to specify that I wanted the console to be the default fixed font. [This is only related to the font that konsole picks in the "normal" case. In fact there is a potential konsole bug here in that it should ask for "monospace" font rather than "fixed" so I am not proposing that you do anything with the /etc/fonts/* files.] - -- Alan Chandler [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+rXZjuFHxcV2FFoIRAn2FAJ9ZKqW0O43NrPAFkAu+cGZeSIXXFgCgkJ7Y ThjzFYQxmqaZdOsXSMzq+Oc= =U9Fc -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
