[Konsole-devel] Specify a font for konsole

[Robert Knight]

Hello Derek,

There is no command-line option to change the font on startup.

However, the font is a property of the session type.  You can change
it manally but altering the "defaultfont" setting in the relevant
.desktop file for the session type.  If the "defaultfont" setting is
not specified, it defaults to the "Monospace" system font.

The .desktop files are stored in ~/.kde/share/apps/konsole for custom
types or /usr/share/apps/konsole for the session types supplied with
Konsole.

Regards,
Robert.
