Installing konsole's bitmap fonts ================================= Formerly, the few bitmap fonts TDE included, designed for use with Konsole, were shipped as part of the xfonts-konsole package. However, as Konsole no longer uses these fonts by default, and most users no longer use bitmap fonts at all, TDE now includes these fonts with Konsole itself, and Debian has followed this practice, including the fonts in the konsole package, and eliminating the xfonts-konsole package entirely. To make use of these legacy fonts, start Konsole, and under Settings --> Font select "Install Bitmap...". This will allow you to copy the legacy Konsole fonts to $HOME/.fonts, where, after restarting TDE, all applications run by that user, including Konsole, will be able to find them. Also make sure that fontconfig is configured to allow the use of bitmap fonts. If you're not sure, run, as root, 'dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config' from Konsole. -- jr <jr@lichts.Belkin>, Wed, 14 Nov 2007 14:26:31 +0000
