I'm the author of the Bashish console theme engine, http://bashish.sf.net

I intend to port Bashish to konsole. What I have got working so far (prototyping) is fg/bg and 16-color changing by generating schemas on the fly.

I have not been able to implement font changing since I found no way of changing fonts except interactively, so my wish is for the Konsole devs to add the following attribute under the session-[n] "class" in dcop:

void setFont(QFont font)

and if possible the following to ease scriptability, so one doesn't have to
write a C++ helper :)
void setFontName(String fontname)
void setFontSize(int size)

a third option would be to add the font as a variable in the Schema.

(I'm using an old version of console, but from looking at the changelog, no such feature have appeared)
