No objections from me. :) But like Tim, I think it would be good to provide
documentation for the non-debian-kde reader for how to get konsole working
decently.
One suggestion might be to put the information in
/usr/share/doc/konsole/README.AAfonts or some such file. I can try to draw
up such a file over the weekend if you want. I don't know what the protocol
is (the problem is serious enough that if konsole with QT_XFT=1 cannot find
fixed-width fonts it becomes essentially unusable) - do we want to notify the
user on installation (a preinst popup like with xfs/xdm/etc?) that these
instructions exist?
I think half the problem here is that X cannot provide a good default
XftConfig since it depends on what Type1/TT fonts you have installed, and
there's no guarantee that any two users have any two such fonts in common.
Anyway. I promised I'd go help at a yard sale. :)
Ben.
