Heh, use custom font set to to a TTF like, e.g., 'Courier New' and be done ;)
[AFAIR SuSE also has a usable TTF font in konsole.]

E.g. on IRC I suggested:

cat > /etc/kde3/konsolerc <<EOT
[Desktop Entry]
defaultfont=Monospace,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0
font=8
EOT

If you don't like this font in konsole you will not like it
in kate either.  So using a pixel font for konsole is no
general solution.  I'll try my SuSE live CDROM next Monday
to find out what they use.  It wasn't the nonfree M$ courier new.

konsole and antialiasing isn't a goot idea I fully agree.

  To me vi is Zen.  To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is

  You discover truth everytime you use it.
