Re: Konsole displays some characters wrong

I click 設定 > 現在のプロファイルを編集(E)... > 外観
In フォント > プレビュー it says Monospace
Oh now I see, next to フォントサイズ where it lets me change the size, there's a clickable button to select a font.
In that panel it says モノスペース instead of Monospace.

Thank you for the workaround.  I will experiment with some fonts.  I would like to recommend that the preview box should include some full-width characters so that users can judge more easily.  If a font doesn't include glyphs for full-width characters then users will see immediately that they shouldn't experiment with such a font.

I still think there's a bug.

Konsole knows that the glyph for 字 is full-width, so Konsole should know that the glyph for downarrow is full-width.

The version of Konsole that was included in Suse 11.0 did know that downarrow is full-width.  I never had to look at what the default font was because it just worked.

Yours sincerely,
Norman Diamond
