           Summary: Konsole doesn't allow some monospace fonts
           Product: konsole
           Version: 2.3.2
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: danielbarrettbolton at gmail.com


Version:           2.3.2 (using KDE 4.3.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

It seems that Konsole will only allow the user to select a monospace font. Even
though this feature questionably restricts the user's freedom, that is a
separate matter. I am filing this bug report because this feature does not
appear to work as intended.

I have in my $HOME/.fonts some monospace fonts, such as Monaco, that Konsole
will not let me choose. I can choose that font in other applications, for
instance Konversation, with no problems. Even after restarting my system,
Konsole still did not show this font in the Font selection dialog.

Even some fonts installed system-wide from the Debian repositories, such as
Unifont, are also filtered.

I think that this font-filtering feature should at the very least be adjusted
to include any and all monospace fonts.
