Hi All!
The main problem is that not all mono type fonts are available in KDE system settings.
For example, I want to use Roboto font family, but mono type is not available in 'Fixed width' menu. Roboto font family provides mono type.
And there are much more mono fonts which I cannot use (e.g. in Konsole or Yakuake).
Is there any workaround for this?
Thanks.

There are (older) bug reports - picking one - https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=229400

Konsole doesn't make any font-filtering itself except asking Qt to only list monospace fonts. It is the Qt library that judges whether a font is monospace or not...
A workaround is to edit the configuration files manually - the Konsole KF5: ~/.local/share/konsole/Shell.profile
Changing the Font to 'RobotoMono': http://imgur.com/L64hNuE
The Konsole will show warnings of the unsupported font:
The font for use in the terminal has not been matched exactly. Perhaps it has not been found properly.
Using an unsupported variable-width font in the terminal. This may produce display errors.

Thanks @Rog131.
I've also found similar bug reports submitted to KDE team.
And there is a workaround for my problem. As wanted to select Roboto Mono font in 'System Settings -> Font -> Fonts -> Fixed width' (which was not listed there), I've modified '~/ .config/kdeglobals' config file and put there the desired font.
