This sounds good.

But what if I wanted to use the default non-antialiased font for Konsole (which 
looks extremely good at all sizes Konsole lets you pick)?  Mind you, courier I 
find ugly for the Konsole, difficult to read and takes too much space.

I understand the default font for Konsole is a bitmap font.  Is that why 
antialiasing makes it vanish from the font list?  I\'d still like to be able to 
pick bitmap fonts for some uses.

thanks for the tip anyhow =)
