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.
