I don't agree. Konsole may depend on the font being fixed-width in order to \
repaint the window properly (imagine repainting only portions).

I've see this happen with Emacs: the font wasn't completely fixed-width (or \
was reporting the wrong width), so editing text was simply impossible \
because the cursor was far away from where the text was. And typing simply \
garbled what was being shown.

So, no, this should not be a GUI feature. If you need to choose a font that \
isn't listed, you should edit the configuration file to select that font. \
In that, I agree, Konsole should accept the font that is in the config and \
not check if it's fixed-width.

(Then again, imagine upgrading and a font changing from monospace to \
variable-width...) _______________________________________________
