What determines whether Konsole can use a font?

I have my favorite fixed-width font installed, converted from a Windows .fon file. It works in xterm and in gnome-terminal (where it shows up in the menu of available fonts) but does not show up in Konsole's font list. What characteristics does a font need to have in order for Konsole to use it?

I'm running KDE 3.4 on Ubuntu Hoary Hedgehog, in case the answer is version-specific. The font in question is Sheldon Narrow.

RE: What determines whether Konsole can use a font?

I'm not sure if there's a way to add a font to Konsole's font listing, but the "<Default>" font in Konsole seems to be set in the 'Fonts' KControl module (kcmshell fonts) option for 'Fixed width'
