Description Ami Chayun 2011-06-09 10:20:47 UTC 
Version:           1.0 (using KDE 4.6.3) 
OS:                Linux

When trying to change the default fixed width font (system-wide, in konsole profile etc.), not all monospace fonts are listed. Example:
Apple's Monaco.ttf (default OSX console font) is installed and can be used everywhere except konsole and fixed-width. Under Gnome this works (tried gnome-terminal). Also reproduces with other commercial fonts.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Install Monaco.ttf from http://www.gringod.com/wp-upload/MONACO.TTF and try to change 'fixed width' font to it
Comment 1 Christoph Feck 2011-06-10 00:37:19 UTC 
QFontInfo::fixedPitch() returns "false" for this font.

This may be a bug in the font itself (not announcing that it is monospaced), a bug in the Qt library, or a bug in FreeType. I suggest to report this problem to Qt developers at http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa
