 <para>Some fonts might be unavailable for usage in &konsole;, although they are available in other applications. That doesn't mean there is a bug in &konsole;. &konsole; requires monospaced fonts to provide the best visual result, so it asks &Qt; to only list monospaced fonts.</para>
 
-<para>If you are sure a font is really monospaced but unavailable in &konsole;, then please report the problem to <ulink url="https://bugreports.qt-project.org/">&Qt;</ulink>.</para>
+<para>Starting with version 16.08 (August 2016), &konsole; can be configured to allow selecting any font with the caveat that the display may not be correct.</para>
