           Summary: Changing fonts in K Control Center or in fontconfig
                    doesn't take effect in Konsole
           Product: konsole
           Version: 1.6.3
          Platform: FreeBSD Ports
        OS/Version: FreeBSD
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: landemaine gmail com


Version:           1.6.3 (using KDE KDE 3.5.3)
Installed from:    FreeBSD Ports
OS:                FreeBSD

I changed in K Control Center fixed-width fonts to "Monospace", and in fontconfig, I have bind monospace to "Courier New" and to "Nimbus". KDE applications that use fixed-width fonts such as Kate, Kwrite, etc... Are using my fonts because their font is set as "monospace", so if I have the Microsoft fonts installed, I have Courier New, otherwise, if I don't have the Microsoft fonts installed, these applications will use Nimbus instead.

Konsole doesn't take any of these into account because whatever I define in KDE and fontconfig, Konsole still uses Bitstream Vera Sans Mono. Defining "monospace" as default font would solve this problem and Konsole would look like any other KDE application.
