Thanks for the info, but I'm not sure it applies since I presume FC3
shipped this way and I'm okay with FC3. Looks like I've changed my mozilla
fonts on FC3 so perhaps I need to pick new fonts there. But my FC3 konsole
font is "Monospace" which looks to be the default there. Perhaps the
default changed.
