I have a strange situation - after some upgrades a couple of days ago fonts in KDE Konsole broke. To make it more specific - standard fonts look more or less OK, but when I use my national characters (like acelnsózz) they all look broken - like from another font, or badly scaled.
The same problem doesn't exist in GNOME Terminal.
I usually use the Terminus font, so I used this for demonstration, but it shows in other fonts as well - if that will be necessary I will provide list.
Konsole shot:
GNOME Terminal shot:
As for my settings:
=$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "Builtin Default intel Device 0"
Driver "intel"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "Monitor Model"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Builtin Default intel Screen 0"
Device "Builtin Default intel Device 0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "CorePointer"
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Builtin Default Layout"
Screen "Builtin Default intel Screen 0"
InputDevice "touchpad"
EndSection
=$ xdpyinfo | grep -E resolution\|dimensions
dimensions: 1680x1050 pixels (444x277 millimeters)
resolution: 96x96 dots per inch
I tried forcing DPI in system settings (to 120), or adding monitor size to xorg.conf - so far nothing helped.
Any idea on what should I do to make it work sanely again?
