I havent even upgraded KDE and dont have luxi-mono listed either but you will
find it is there as the default font called 'Monospace'. Stephen is correct
it is not a KDE issue but would most likely have changed when you last
upgraded your distro or X and is due to the fontconfig definition file.
If you open the font window in Konsole and carefully position your windows so
that you can open the controlcentre fonts window and go to change the general
font so you have another font selector window open that shows all fonts you
will see when you make them the same point size that 'Monospace' and
'Luxi-Mono' are indeed the same font even down to the serifs on the T and the
peculiar 'm'.
Of course there is no such font called 'Monospace' the same as there is
no such fonts as 'Sans' or 'Serif' they are aliases that can vary according
to the fonts that your distro supplies and the order it searches your font
folders although they are now uniform over the major distros.
I dont see why it doesnt list the original name as well though. Possibly once
it has used it as the alias it ignores it or it could be that (on my system)
according to the FontMap there are both TT and Type1 copies of Luxi-Mono and
that may confuse it.
