Installing konsole's bitmap fonts
|
||
|
|
=================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Formerly, the few bitmap fonts KDE included, designed for use with Konsole,
|
||
|
|
were shipped as part of the xfonts-konsole package. However, as Konsole no
|
||
|
|
longer uses these fonts by default, and most users no longer use bitmap
|
||
|
|
fonts at all, KDE now includes these fonts with Konsole itself, and Debian
|
||
|
|
has followed this practice, including the fonts in the konsole package, and
|
||
|
|
eliminating the xfonts-konsole package entirely.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To make use of these legacy fonts, start Konsole, and under Settings --> Font
|
||
|
|
select "Install Bitmap...". This will allow you to copy the legacy Konsole
|
||
|
|
fonts to $HOME/.fonts, where, after restarting KDE, all applications run by
|
||
|
|
that user, including Konsole, will be able to find them. Also make sure that
|
||
|
|
fontconfig is configured to allow the use of bitmap fonts. If you're not sure,
|
||
|
|
run, as root, 'dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config' from Konsole.
