I don't agree. Konsole may depend on the font being fixed-width in order to repaint the window properly (imagine repainting only portions).

I've see this happen with Emacs: the font wasn't completely fixed-width (or was reporting the wrong width), so editing text was simply impossible because the cursor was far away from where the text was. And typing simply garbled what was being shown.

So, no, this should not be a GUI feature. If you need to choose a font that isn't listed, you should edit the configuration file to select that font. In that, I agree, Konsole should accept the font that is in the config and not check if it's fixed-width.

(Then again, imagine upgrading and a font changing from monospace to variable-width...)
