Droid Sans Mono isn't mono.

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.7.2) 
OS:                Linux

I think the best way to describe it is a picture. This is Droid Sans Mono with slight autohinting.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Qt 4.8rc1
2. Install Droid fonts
3. Open Konsole, select Droid Sans Mono as default font

Actual Results:  
Weird looking terminal

Expected Results:  
Beautiful terminal

Jekyll, should the commit be backported? Appearantly, some distributions are already shipping Qt 4.8, but we won't release KDE 4.8 until end of January.
Comment 2 Victor Gavrish 2011-10-25 10:50:10 UTC
I'd appreciate it if it were backported. I think all of arch linux users will too. For now Qt 4.8rc1 is only in testing, but as soon as 4.8 stable comes out, it'll be sure to hit the main repository, and I doubt very much that KDE 4.9 will be out by then.
Comment 3 Victor Gavrish 2011-10-25 10:53:04 UTC
I mean KDE 4.8 obviously.
Comment 4 Jekyll Wu 2011-10-25 10:59:43 UTC
Yes, I think backporting is really needed. Actually, ArchLinux happens to be the distro I am using. I will do it.
