QFontDatabase errors, fixed-width fonts



Hey everyone,

I'm having an irritating problem with my rather fresh Debian woody desktop
system.  I verified that the same problem exists on another Debian system as
well.  Both running 2.4.18 Debian kernel.

It's very simple to reproduce.  Just run a KDE app like konsole or kcontrol
(preferably from a shell so that you can see error msgs).  Go to a
configuration where you must pick a fixed-width font.  In konsole, this is
the Font->Custom menu since konsole will only allow fixed-width fonts.  In
kcontrol, go to Look & Feel->Fonts->Fixed Width->Choose.

Opening the font selection box will dump out a bunch of QFontDatabase
errors, such as:

QFontDatabase::font: Style not found for console, Normal, iso8859-1

The amount of these errors seems to depend on how many fonts you have
installed, from what I can guess.

This is probably harmless except for one thing.  I want to use a custom size
of the "console" font in konsole, but it isn't listed in the font selection.
Why not?  It's a fixed-width font.  In fact konsole chooses the "console"
font if you choose the "Linux" font (although this was also broken for some
reason on one of my systems - I had to add /usr/share/fonts to xfs's font
path).

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks!
Carl
