Konsole and Artwiz Fonts

For whatever reason, I cannot get my fonts in konsole (SUSE 10.2) to not look like crap. Before I grew attached to KDE and konsole, I used blackbox and Eterm (for like 5+years???). And Eterm did a fantastic job of using the classic (and really good) artwiz fonts like smoothansi, fkp, snap, mints, edges, anorexia. Konsole, apparently, cannot use the fonts that I’d used (and kept) for years with Eterm. So I stumbled upon this sourceforge project which has resurrected the glorious artwiz fonts and allows them to be used in KDE/GTK applications once more (including konsole).

All hail Artwiz!! (where did you go, Artwiz!?!) All hail Oliwier Ptak!!!

  • Artwiz…there’s a name I haven’t heard in ages! I do wonder myself what Youngjin is up to…I’ll never forget the work he did for me on bbpal! Gosh–those were the days! 🙂

  • Hey Pax!!! =:) Yeah, I really miss artwiz. I caught up with him a long time ago and got to discussing philosophy with Zen and the art of Motorcycle Maintenance, but that was a LONG time ago. I’ve tried to find him since but have had no luck. =:(
