Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.0) Installed from: SuSE RPMs OS: Linux In 3.5 beta 2 and RC1 konsole does not have any entires in Preferences > Font-type but: bigger, small, select and install. Installation fails. In 3.4.3 There were actual fonts to choose from.
To select fonts got to Settings->Fonts->Select. The KDE Font dialog should pop up and allow you pick the font you want. The Settings->Fonts->Install is only to install the 1 Bitmap font that some people might want to use.
there was no need to do this in 3.4.3, so why should there be a need in 3.5? In 3.4.3 the fon tused was bold, the current font used by default is not bold, so there was a change.
