I generally use Konsole for a terminal, even when there is a choice.
Originally, with RedHat(6.2) or LM7.0 the Linux console setting gave you
a special font which was very useful (chrs 120+) for doing graphics on
text windows, etc. 

Upgrading to LM7.1, this font is missing - it should be present,
according to the manual - and when I first tried that option the window
disappeared, segment violation + core dump. 

Redoing the installation (7.0 + upgrade) I saved the fonts before
upgrading, and reinstalled them in accordance with the instructions in
the (RedHat) SRPM.

The font are definitely there - you can see them in the file manager -
but Konsole still objects that it can't find them! Although at least now
I don't get segment violation + core dump.

Note that although I sometimes use curses, most of my programming is not
in C, so I don't think I could just specify an alternative font.

Any suggestions, please?

Ronnie Whipp.
