Even so, to make KDE work with fixed-width AA fonts you need to supply a
preferred fixed-width font in the XftConfig file (which will then be used
with konsole, etc.). This is what I believe is more difficult; I don't see
that we can really require that every user has the M$ font Courier New, or
Andale Mono or whatever.
