Problem 1: I think the font size used by konsole for displaying output in the terminal area has *nothing* to do with the general font or small font specified in systemsettings, although slightly related with fixed font specified in systemsettings. It uses the font size that is specified in the current profile. Use Settings->Configure Current Profile->Appearance to see that font size. Problem 2: 80 columns is a longstanding convention. Breaking that default would make many many users unhappy. But you can tell konsole to remember your preferred size and starts with that size next time. Take a loot at Settings->Configure Current Profile->General.

The default monospace font (misc-fixed IIRC) that was being used was a bitmap font only available in 10pt size, which was not possible to scale up to a genuine 10pt size to match a high DPI. This is no longer the case at least in openSUSE 11.4 running 4.7.0. Now a normal complement of available sizes is available for the default monospace font. |
