console8x16
The issue
console8x16 font, which is favorite by many konsole users is unavailable starting from Kubuntu Gutsy and on. The font file itself exist on the system at /usr/share/apps/konsole/fonts, but:
- The directory is not in fonts path
- console8x16 is bitmap font, i.e. excluded by default system font configuration.
The solution
Add this to ~/fonts.conf or /etc/fonts/conf.d/99-konsole.conf
<?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd"> <fontconfig> <dir>/usr/share/apps/konsole/fonts</dir> <selectfont> <acceptfont> <pattern> <patelt name="family" > <string>Console</string> </patelt> </pattern> </acceptfont> </selectfont> </fontconfig>
Then run fc-cache -fv (or sudo fc-cache -fv if you edited /etc.. file)
