22 You can get the fonts from a really old kdebase tarball, for example:
23
24 ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/Attic/2.2.2/src/kdebase-2.2.2.tar.bz2
25
26 Contains:
27
28 kdebase-2.2.2/konsole/fonts/9x15.pcf.gz
29 kdebase-2.2.2/konsole/fonts/console8x16.pcf.gz
30 kdebase-2.2.2/konsole/fonts/console8x8.pcf.gz
31
32 HTH :)
