[Bug 173994] New: konsole cannot use 6x13 fixed font

http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=173994

           Summary: konsole cannot use 6x13 fixed font
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel@...
        ReportedBy: jbastian@...


Version:            (using KDE 4.1.2)
Compiler:          gcc-4.3.2-6.i386
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

xterm uses the venerable 6x13 fixed width font which is quite easy on the eyes.
 In Fedora 8, with KDE 3.5.10, I can get Konsole to use the same font by
choosing the
  MiscFixed, Regular, 10
font.  The trick is that 10 is not listed among the available sizes, but I can
manually type it into the box and it'll take it.

With KDE 4.1.2 under Fedora 10 Beta (9.92 rawhide), I can no longer type a 10
into the box.  When I try, it forces the size up to 11 which is in the list.

It could be argued that the bug was actually in KDE 3.5.x in allowing me to
enter a size that wasn't in the list.

I'd just like to be able to use the 6x13 font with Konsole.

A screenshot showing Konsole (KDE 3.5.10) and xterm running side-by-side with
the same 6x13 font.  The font selection window shows how I manually entered a
10 for the font size.

KDE 4.1.2's Konsole won't let me pick a size 10 font.

I was successfully using 6x13 in Kubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) on KDE 4.2.4 .  When I
upgraded to Kubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) this weekend, my Konsole applications all
showed a terrible font.  After spending some time on it, it now appears as
though Konsole cannot display that particular size of that font.  I can select
the 8-9 pt Misc [Fixed], and I can select 11pt, and although I can select the
10pt version, it looks horrible.  Please see the attached screenshot.

Notice how the center konsole window appears to be picking a font from a
different family.  The left and right are 8/9pt and 11pt respectively (no
visible difference between 8/9 with Misc).  Other KDE applications can display
this font, so konsole appears to be the culprit here.

Workaround: I found that if you manually edit the profile to use "25" instead
of "50", it will automatically choose 8x13.  Then, if you modify your font
configuration through Font Installer to disable the non-semicondensed versions
of the fonts, it will select 6x13.  Hope that helps someone.
