Good point. As it happens, I kicked off SuSEconfig and that's sorted them out again - well, not entirely sorted them out, but I can at least pick a decent konsole font. The other KDE annoyance which I don't seem to be able to fix is the desktop icons moving around when I log in. If I arrange the icons the way I want, I can see KDE write the correct positions into the ~/Desktop/.directory file when I logout, but when I log back in the icons are out of position and the file gets overwritten with the wrong positions. I tried removing write positions from .directory, but that just stops KDE from saving the wrong poitions, not from re-arranging the icons. sjb
