Sorry guys I (stupidly) had font Anti Aliasing enabled, and this caused my KDE Konsole to not load the font. basically to get ANSI graphics in Konsole with sabvga.pcf.gz (found by google): cd /opt/kde/share/fonts mv console8x8.pcf.gz console8x8.pcf.gz.old mv /tmp/sabvga.pcf ./console8x8.pcf.gz chattr +i fonts.dir ( to prevent overwriting ) then xset fp rehash and restart konsole. peace. bud. _____________________________________________________________ Proud member of United Networks Email, visit or report abuse at http://networks.org/ ___________________________________________________ .
