Hi,
I'm trying to use Inconsolata with konsole, but I have a problem my display is set to 96dpi and with a 8pt size it is to small with 9pt it to big. I tried to manually change the .profile to 8.5 (this work with DejaVuSans) but with inconsolata this don't work.

Can konsole make possible to set fractional size for fonts?

I cannot do much about that I'm afraid.  If it works with one font but not another then the problem, if there is one, is lower down the software stack.  Probably in Qt since scaling is smooth in gnome-terminal.  

There is a Trolltech bug report open which seems to be related.  I suggest subscribing to it for any updates.  Although since it has been open since Qt 4.1 I'm not sure how likely it is to get fixed.

My mistake, this doesn't seem to be possible.
