There is a workaround to get the standard "fixed" font working in the current
konsole:
http://ptspts.blogspot.com/2010/06/how-to-enable-bitmap-fonts-on-ubuntu.html

I have been using this on Kubuntu 11.04 and 11.10 (4.6.? and 4.7.2?)


Copying the relevant bits from that blog. Download and install this variant of
Fixed that has the "semicondensed" tag removed:
http://pts-mini-gpl.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/fonts/fixedsc.tgz

Then enable bitmap fonts by removing the no-bitmaps.conf file and linking the
force-bitmaps or yes-bitmaps config:
$ sudo rm -f /etc/fonts/conf.d/70-{yes,no,force}-bitmaps.conf
$ if test -f /etc/fonts/conf.avail/70-force-bitmaps.conf
  then sudo ln -s {../conf.avail,/etc/fonts/conf.d}/70-force-bitmaps.conf
  else sudo ln -s {../conf.avail,/etc/fonts/conf.d}/70-yes-bitmaps.conf
  fi

Then rebuild fontconfig: (not required for me so have not tested this)
$ sudo rm -f /var/cache/fontconfig/*
$ rm -rf "$HOME/.fontconfig"
$ sudo fc-cache
$ fc-cache
$ fc-list | grep -E 'FixedSC' | sort
FixedSC:style=Bold
FixedSC:style=Regular

Restart konsole and there should be a Fixed SC available to choose.
(size 10 is what you want)
