Missing Konsole fixed fonts
 
Hello

Okay, so I have a fresh install of Slackware 10.0.
Everything is going smoothly so far. Got all my hardware detected, recompiled the kernel, etc..

Now the only problem I keep having is that the KDE Konsole only lists 3 fixed-width fonts. There use to be a lot more (I mean the fixed-misc-? fonts).
I've googled this and others have had the same problem but with Debian.

Does anyone know what happened to them?
The Control Center > System Administration > Font installer lists the fonts I'm talking about (the ones in fonts:misc/ )
But I can't seem to make them available system wide under KDE.

Help! these awful default fonts are hurting my eyes!

Thanks in advance.

You might need to install some font packages for X. Seems like you are missing them. With Debian I would have installed xfonts-konsole. You will need to find your alternative...

It's fixed!

This is a strange one.
First I upgraded the udev package from 26 to the most recent version (I think it was 42).
Then I rebooted the machine.

Now all of the fixed width fonts are back.
I don't know what the udev package is for (I don't think it's related to fonts) but it seems to have fixed the problem.
