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...) _______________________________________________
