Description sombragris 2004-01-27 13:22:53 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.0)
Installed from:    Slackware Packages
OS:          Linux

Hi,
Thanks for all the hard work in KDE 3.2.
Konsole does not show all the bitmap "misc-fixed" fonts. In fact, in the font selection wizard it does *not* show bitmap fonts at all.

Now, in the context menu, when you go to Settings > Fonts > Tiny | Normal | Medium | Large | Huge, etc, these are all misc-fixed, but there is no other way to select misc-fixed sizes which are differen than those presets.

It would be ideal to use scaled fonts only for display, but they do not behave well with ncurses applications, so instead it would be convenient to have the bitmap fonts presented in the file selector dialog in order to select them in the appropriate sizes.

I will appreciate the fixing of this issue. Thanks for all the efort,

Here only bitmap "fixed" font is listed in font view. No other monospace fonts are listed.

I'll second this.  In particular, I'm strongly addicted to the '6x13' font - I have found nothing else which is as clear to read and as compact.

I think it would be OK if the font dialog had a text field to type in an X11 font specifier, possibly hidden under an "Advanced>>" button.

Sorry. This is a Qt bug. Withdrawing the report.
