Hi KDE users,

I'm wondering how to use the kappa font in konsole.
It's in the Debian package xfonts-kappa20 .
I heard that konsole can use only fixed-width font,
and kappa20 is a fixed-width font. Its "English" part

-kappa-fixed-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*

is very good and I've been using it on emacs for a long time.
But, it's not shown in the Settings > Font > Select menu
of konsole.

Cheers,
Ryo

If anybody is interested---Here is a conclusion.

0. It seems that konsole doesn't allow you to use this font because
it's not registered as fixed-width.

1. I submitted a bug report against kappa20, requesting to correctly
register the font as fixed-width. I've heard nothing from the
maintainer, yet.

2. konsole included in KDE4 will allow you to use non-fixed-width
fonts:

That means, this case is closed as of KDE4.

Regards,
Ryo
