Dear mailing list, I am a user of KDE's Konsole xterm replacement. Prior to KDE 3.2.1 i was able to force Konsole to use 'sabvga.pcf.gz', a replacement ansi font so Konsole displays ansi graphics correctly. In KDE 3.1.x all I had to do was cd /opt/kde/share/fonts and replace console8x8.pcf.gz with sabvga.pcf.gz (*rename*), and restart konsole and it would load sabvga.pcf.gz... however its not working. how do i get konsole to load a custom font? so far as default it only loads the following fonts (Under "settings->font->custom"):
Bitstream Vera Sans Mono Courier Courier 10 pitch Courier 10 pitch (bitstream) Courier (Adobe/Bitstream/Ibm) (3 seperate fonts) Luxi Mono/Luxi Mono B&H (2 fonts)
so basically i have to find where Bitstream verasansmono is and replace it with sabvga.pcf.... unless any of you have ideas on how to get an ANSI .pcf font to work in konsole... please help ive spent >5 hours on something that should take no less than 10 minutes.
You should be able to use any mono-spaced font that FontConfig has cached -- they are available under the: "Custom" setting.
As root, run:
fc-cache -v
and see if it finds the directory where your font is -- without changing the name of it. If not, either your: "/etc/fonts/fonts.conf" file is corrupted, or you need to add the directory to your: "/etc/fonts/local.conf" file.
