Hmm .. my Konsole fonts look fine (really nice in fact) - I only use
the "Linux" font though.
One weird thing is that if I start a Konsole "Linux console" session,
then I always get this error :
Font '-misc-console-medium-r-normal--16-160-72-72-c-160-iso10646-1'
not found.
Check README.linux.console for help
(this README file doesn't exist on my system).
I just avoid this problem by always using a Konsole "Shell" session
type instead (which doesn't produce the error).
I don't have the xfonts-konsole package installed, so maybe that's the
cause of this error.
