I have been trying to track why KDE's konsole seems to have had ugly fonts
ever since installing fontconfig.
It turns out that fontconfig ignores the "AddStyleName" field of the font. In
this case, this means that font /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/12x13ja.pcf.gz
seems to most closely match that requested by default since the "ja"
additional properties are ignored.
This font seems to be in xfonts-base.
I have a number of questions.
Why is this font installed by xfonts-base?
What does the "ja" "Additional StyleName" mean?
Would it not be a good idea for /etc/fonts/fonts.conf to contain some way of
selecting a "nicer" font if its available ( I have in mind something like
<alias>
<family>fixed</family>
<prefer>
<family>monospace</family>
</prefer>
</alias>
- - although this doesn't seem to work)
