You will need to reconfigure the fontconfig-config package and be sure to enable bitmapped fonts. If you've upgraded your box over time as Sid, there may be some crufty files in /etc/fonts/conf.d (they should all be symlinks now except for README) that are turning bitmapped fonts back off even though you've enabled them. I found this on a few of my boxes. A clean Etch or later install should not have this problem. I am using the console font with the latest KDE4 Konsole in Sid with no problems. - Nate >> -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
