I am no font man myself...I usually install all the basic stuff (with
X4 it's the 75dpi/100dpi/base/cyrillic pretty much) and that's about it.
However with this I do not see the above problems...I however see a horrible
font with the "root" konsole...but I haven't had time to figure out if
this is correct behavior or not.
