If anyone knows of a way to fix this in the Debian KDE packages, I'd
be very interested to hear it. Also, does anyone have any idea how to
fix the font problems in konsole ( most of the fonts look ugly, the
"linux" and "unicode" fonts don't work, selecting a custom font brings
up very few fonts to choose from etc. ), please share it.
