I was using Input Mono Condensed font in KDE4. In KF5 it is no longer possible - after restarting application fonts "degrades" to Input Mono. This applies to Konsole, Kate, KWrite and entire system overall if you try to use "Condensed" (or Compressed\Narrow) variants as UI font. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have Input Mono fonts installed. 2. Open up Konsole profile settings, set font to Input Mono Condensed. Save profile. 3. Notice that font is rather narrow. 4. Quit Konsole and open it up again. 5. Switch to profile if it isn't already. Notice that font is really wide. Actual Results: Used font is normal-width variant. Expected Results: Used font is chosen variant. I think this is not reproducible in yakuake because it uses konsole4. In font preivew it still shows chosen variant font name, but with normal width. Workaround is to re-set font to different weight. It's probably not Konsole bug but QT5 or something system-wise.
If you run Konsole from Konsole following can be seen in stdout: `The font for use in the terminal has not been matched exactly. Perhaps it has not been found properly.`
This might have been fixed w/ Jan 30th commit. Need to double-check
I want to confirm that this started happening to me after upgrading from konsole-4.14.3 to konsole-15.12.3. Doesn't happen with some fonts, but it does happen with Lucida Console (official TTF from Windows) which I use. The problem temporarily goes away for the lifetime of konsole being open if you go to change the font in konsole and apply it (even to the same font), but the font is super wide again if you close konsole and open it again.
I have this bug but don't get that message when running konsole through konsole.
I can confirm bug still exists, message however is gone, probably wasn't related to it. Actually it's probably a QT bug? Same thing happens system-wise if you set narrow\condensed\compressed applications font, either monospace or just everything. At first - fonts are changed correctly, but re-running any application will have its fonts reverted to non-narrow variant.
Thanks for the report and apologies for the delayed response. Can you please confirm if this issue still occurs with recent versions of konsole?
