redhat 8.0 terminal fonts


WARNING!:

Hello.

This is a minor problem, I can live with it but it bugs the H*LL out of me. I'm running RedHat 8.0 and when I try to configure the font used in the terminal I have found that the list is a lot shorter.
There use to be lots of nice SHARP fonts to chose from, now their gone. The fonts I'm talking about were all available under Redhat 7.2. I can get them off a RedHat 7.2 box, but I can't seem to make them available to the terminal configurator under KDE.
I tried putting them into my ~/.fonts directory but that didn't work.

Does anybody have an idea how I can get those fonts to be available?

All help is appreciated.

System: RedHat 8.0 Using KDE/Bluecurve Theme

The MS Truetype Fonts I put in .fonts are available to my terminal. Have you restarted X since putting the TTF fonts into .fonts?

Progress...?

I've made some progress.
The specific fonts I'm trying to use in the Konsole are the unicode --fixed-- fonts, the ones you see when you call up 'xterm'. Those fonts use to be available for use in the Konsole in Redhat 7.2. Now they're gone in Redhat 8.0.

Does anybody know how to get them back?
