The file name for this font is:

console8x16.pcf.gz

It will be installed in: $KDEDIR/share/fonts

If KDE is not installed with a perfix of: "/usr", then you must add this 
directory to: /etc/fonts/local.conf.  Add this as the next to last line of 
the file just before: </fontconfig>:

	<dir>$KDEDIR/share/fonts</dir>

OR, you can move the files:

	9x15.pcf.gz
	console8x16.pcf.gz
	console8x8.pcf.gz

to: /usr/share/fonts/ and then make a link:

	$KDEDIR/share/fonts -> /usr/share/fonts

and after you do one or the other (NOT both) execute as root:

	fc-cache -vf

You might have to restart KDE before it will find the font.
