No, ForceIntegerMetrics is a hack for applications that need to render glyphs
at exact integer positions, and is actually not related to monospaced fonts.

If you want consistency, ask Konsole developers to support fractional glyph
positioning.

Sorry, typo:
As a side note, the same happens on the fonts kcm module when selecting the
fixed width font (here, there is *NO* way to select a proportional font)

Thanks for the explaination, but wouldn't be more uniform/consistent to use the
same setting  (QFont::ForceIntegerMetrics) when kwrite is using monospaced
fonts?

That's intentional. Konsole uses a character cell grid, forcing every character
on a pixel boundary (QFont::ForceIntegerMetrics). KWrite is able to use
non-monospaced fonts, and can therefore place characters on subpixel
resolution.

Kwrite on top, konsole on bottom, very same font and size, rendered
differently.
