I actually need both changes in both libqt and konsole.

I see misc fixed, but it has a maximum size of 8pt, so I've never really used
it.

Sure, that's why the patch is marked as a workaround, not a fix :).

Misc Fixed which I am using over a decade in xterm and which I wanted to teach
konsole to use... One more thing: konsole picks
/usr/share/fonts/misc/6x13-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz instead of
/usr/share/fonts/misc/6x13.pcf.gz. I have to delete the former to have proper
unicode support using the same font...

A side point, it looks like semicondensed monospace fonts are a rare thing,
even Noto fonts, which have more weight/styles than any other font family I've
ever seen, doesn't have a semicondensed monospace font.

Commenting out that line breaks the "draw intense colours in bold fonts"
option, very tricky stuff :)

Confirmed. The qt fix doesn't help (obviously; but is a bug too). Commenting
out the line (patch attached) indeed helps.

I am not sure it's the same issue as that upstream bug; the code in Konsole
sets the styleName to an empty string
https://invent.kde.org/utilities/konsole/-/blob/master/src/terminalDisplay/TerminalFonts.cpp#L91:
// "Draw intense colors in bold font" feature needs to use different font
weights. StyleName
// property, when set, doesn't allow weight changes. Since all properties
(weight, stretch,
// italic, etc) are stored in QFont independently, in almost all cases
styleName is not needed.

It's because QFont::fromString(const QString ) doesn't OR the
QFont::resolve_mask with QFont::StyleNameResolved the same as
QFont::setStyleName(const QString ) does. So this is an upstream (Qt)
bug. Reproducer:

$ cat main.cpp
#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 

static void setLabelFont(QLabel , const QFont )
{
qDebug() << __func__ << font <<
"style" << font.style() << "stylename" << font.styleName()
 << "resolve" << QString::number(font.resolve(), 16);
label.setFont(font);
label.setText(font.toString());
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
QDialog w;
QLabel label1(), label2();

QFont font1;
font1.fromString("Misc Fixed,10,-1,5,57,0,0,0,0,0,SemiCondensed");
auto font2 = font1;
#if 1
font2.resolve(font2.resolve() |
QFont::ResolveProperties::StyleNameResolved);
#else
font2.setStyleName("SemiCondensed");
#endif
setLabelFont(label1, font1);
setLabelFont(label2, font2);

w.show();

label2.move(0, label1.size().height() + 5);
w.resize(label1.size().width(), label2.pos().y() +
label2.size().height());

return a.exec();
}

$ cat Makefile 
COMPONENTS=Qt5Core Qt5Gui Qt5Widgets
CXXFLAGS=$(shell pkg-config --cflags $(COMPONENTS)) -Wall -Og -g
LDLIBS=$(shell pkg-config --libs $(COMPONENTS)) -flto

all: main


Both labels are with the same font, the latter sets the resolve_mask and is
shown correctly.

Still happens on master.
For me, selecting "semicondensed" makes Konsole use some variant with square
characters, but it is also wrong.

Few observations:
* The font preview (the one with font name) in profile settings (not font
selection window):
  - uses right variant just after selection
  - uses "regular" after Konsole restart - this applies to all variants, not
only SC
* The config stores "Font=Fixed [Misc],10,-1,5,57,0,0,0,0,0,SemiCondensed",
which looks OK.

So we have a problem with loading font from config + regression which makes
SemiCondensed variant not available in TerminalDisplay.

To anyone who wants to test it:
If you dont see 'fixed' font, try enabling bitmap fonts:

mkdir -p ~/.config/fontconfig/conf.d
cat > ~/.config/fontconfig/conf.d/69-fixed-bitmaps.conf <


  
  

  

  Fixed

Now Konsole won't allow use of the SemiCondensed Fixed font at all.  You can
use the normal fixed font.  You can also select the SemiCondensed variant, but
it will ignore the setting and just use the normal one.  It kind of worked up
till relatively recently (Fedora 29 worked; 30 does not).
