[kde-doc-english] How do I select the default font for a Unicoded script on Konsole?

[R (Chandra) Chandrasekhar]

Dear Folks,

I have a KDE 3.5.4 with locale

LANG=en_AU.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_AU:en
LC_CTYPE="en_AU.UTF-8"

on a Kubuntu Dapper PC.

I have also downloaded SCIM and TTF Indic fonts and am able to input Indic 
scripts to kate and konsole.

Specifically, with the language Tamil, I am able to input to kate using SCIM but 
I find the default Tamil font used by kate too small and hard to read when 
displayed.  I would like to use a clearer TTF font at a larger size and I have 
several to choose form.

But my default language is English: I use Tamil only sparingly and within 
Unicoded text documents.  So, I do not want to change my Bitstream Vera Sans 
Mono at size 14 as my default for kate and konsole.

How can I alter default fonts KDE-wide for other Unicode scripts other than 
English when they are input or displayed by KDE?

Thank you.
