    Since nobody's answering you, I'll make an attempt just so you don't feel
    all alone.

    I don't know. I use Pan.

    When opening up kconsole, and changing the font within, then saving, seems
    to have my font remain as it was set. Perhaps kde is in need of an update?

    That is a kde setting under your peripherals/keyboard option in kcontrol.

    No

    or do I have to manually adjust them all up in size?

    /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 ls a symbolic link to your actual
    libGL.so.ATIthingy.1234 in the same directory. To make a symbolic link,
    do this in the /usr/lib directory as root:

    mv /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/libGL.sowhat.itsabackup
    ln -s libGL.so.ATIthingy.1234 libGL.so.1

    first file is actual, second is the shortcut/symbolic link.

    You are still linked to Mesa because ATI and driver creation have as much
    in common as God and Satan. Good luck.
