Description Florian Evers 2004-01-20 12:33:14 UTC 
Version:           1.3 (using KDE KDE 3.2.0)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:          Linux

Today, I installed KDE3.2rc1.
I started a Konsole, and was surprised that my font settings have changed since KDE3.2beta2. I opened the font selection dialog via
Konsole->Settings->Fonts->User defined fonts (I don't know if this is the correct spelling of the entries because I use the german localisation).

There, I saw "only" 16 Fonts, and all the others where not shown. I don't know why, but the real "problem" was the selection of a new font from the list. There was no "Apply"-button, and I had do click on "ok" to see if the font looks usable in konsole. If the font looks ugly (And most of the fonts listed were really too wide to be usable in Konsole!) I had to select the settings dialog again and and and... ... just to test the next font. And again, 16 times!

It would _really_ be great to see an "apply" button in the fonts settings! :-)

Konsole uses KFontDialog::getFont; this doesn't appear to have any "Apply" button on it.

Kate and Kwrite also don't have an Apply on their Font dialog.  Kmail does though...

+1 voice for Apply button here (in my case I use KDE 3.2.3 on Debian testing and the problem still persists). And Apply would be *VERY* nice here.

Implemented in KDE 4.  It isn't even necessary to click an Apply button.  Font changes are previewed automatically.
