Terminal emulators must used fixed-width fonts because this is a very fundamental \
assumption used by almost all terminal-based programs.

This means that Konsole can only offer a subset of the fonts available on the system. \


Interestingly Gnome Terminal allows the user to select any font for the terminal.  \
Unfortunately this gives horrible results with many fonts which were not designed as \
fixed-width.  At least with Konsole you know that if a font shows up in the dialog \
box it will work.

Unfortunately there may be some fonts on your system which actually are fixed-width \
and could be used but don't show up on the list.  This is a problem with the software \
used to create the fonts, so the people to talk to are the font authors themselves. \
