In your opinion... I like the look of my >5 konsoles (each with more than 5=

terminals inside) with anti-aliased courier but I also like all the other=20
apps and parts of the screen to use a nice sans serif font with kerning and=

these things...

Not really. But that is why taste is different on different people. And you=

are very well free to use a fixed (and non-scalable) font as your=20
default. :-)

Only to define a new default for something like kde (with a user-base of=20
millions and thus millions affected people) you can't just use something=20
someone likes but you actually have to use something that looks good (not=20
perfect) for a wide group of the user-base. And the comparison with the oth=
er=20
big desktops show that the people switching to kde will be very disappointe=

if it isn't scalable fonts with anti-aliasing and kerning but some "hackish=
"=20
fixed-width typewriter font. Linux is struggling to get away from the hacke=
rs=20
image, you can't use a typewriter font as the new default because its bette=
r=20
for coding and hacking.

Have a nice week,
