Hi,

I do only partially agree with the resolution: most fonts are not delivered with konsole but the "Console" fonts are (AFAIK of course), i.e. console8x16.pcf and console8x8.pcf. At least under Debian they are presented like this:
 Fonts used by the KDE Konsole
 These are the default fonts used by the Konsole
 terminal emulator from KDE. You may also use them
 with other X applications.
 .
 Two character cell (monospaced) fonts in the ISO 10646-1
 encoding are provided: 8x8 and 8x16 one.
 .
 This package is part of the official KDE base module.

Another argument: I've seen many bug reports aiming to the fact that Konsole doesn't support properly Unicode, many ones might be related to the fact that the standard fonts do not have all Unicode characters. Hence I think it would be in your interest to fix the problem, cutting down the number of bug reports!?

Cheers, Eric
