The update to fontconf seems to have changed the <dir> segments in 
/etc/fonts/fonts.conf to miss out some of the font directories.  In the case 
here I would suspect /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts (which contains the 
subdirectory TrueType).  As a result the font matching algorithmn is not 
considering these fonts.

You can put this dir in /etc/fonts/local.conf and run fc-cache -f -v (as root) 
to fix it.

Does this mean you have added the <dir> I suggested above?  Or do you mean 
adding this (which makes konsole actually use the console font)



<match>
	<test name="family">
		<string>fixed</string>
	</test>
	<edit name="family" mode="assign" binding="strong">
		<string>console</string>
	</edit>
</match>

See the thread http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52538    for a full 
explanation.
