Hello:

I tried again KDE4. Installed KDE 4.5 factory on openSUSE 11.2.

In konsole I set the font to Misc Console; in KDE4 konsole this font looks very strange and it is almost unreadable. It looks correct though in KDE3 konsole even in KDE4 session.

Furthermore the startup time of KDE3 konsole is 2 seconds while the startup time of KDE4 konsole is 9 seconds (both in KDE 4 session). I find this startup time extremely long, especially compared to KDE3 konsole startup.

How to fix these issues?

Thanks,

Istvan

Sadly, this is a fairly well known issue:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217700 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=591580 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=229400

Apparently somewhere along the way Konsole and/or Qt lost the abillity to deal with fonts whose names contain spaces such as "Misc Console". Strangely enough, if you edit the appearance settings of your konsole profile, and open the font dialog, you'll see a "Console" (or "Console [Misc]") font in addition to "Misc Console". You've got "Misc Console" selected and it makes Konsole slow as hell. And looks weird. Select "Console" (or "Console [Misc]") instead. This solved the problem for me.

Thanks Vadym. I found the suggested "Console" font and it works. Looks the same as Misc Console and startup speed has improved too, though it is still longer than KDE3 konsole's (3 sec vs. less than 2 sec). I had a short look at the links you gave and I see that these bugs are not new, they are 6 to 9 months old. As this font problem is not minor I find it strange it still hasn't been fixed.
