Ugh, sorry, it's too early in the morning, I see you already said that. Oops. :)

You can get the fonts from a really old kdebase tarball, for example:

ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/Attic/2.2.2/src/kdebase-2.2.2.tar.bz2

Contains:

kdebase-2.2.2/konsole/fonts/9x15.pcf.gz
kdebase-2.2.2/konsole/fonts/console8x16.pcf.gz
kdebase-2.2.2/konsole/fonts/console8x8.pcf.gz

HTH :)
