[Konsole-devel] Semicondensed, a request

Hello.

Now, I love konsole, it's a great terminal, but I *grew up* with
"xterm -fn fixed" (i.e misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed-13) and I
simply can't code efficiently in any other font. Nothing else is as
good for legibility and compactness.

Please, please, could some kind soul take pity on me and patch
konsole to allow semicondensed onto the font selection list?

Otherwise I'll have to use rxvt or gnome-term, and that'd be such a
waste.
