Yes, I build everything from the source. Actually, this happened when I 
upgraded to RH9 in case to get glibc 2.3+gcc 3.2 'cause I had troubles with 
kdelibs from cvs on gcc 2.96.
Well, the thing I had to say: I already found a workaround for this issue but 
I'm not sure which part of the software is the cause of such behavior.
Xft seems to found the font, but does not recognize it as monospaced. So I 
write the following in the ~/.fonts.conf:

 <match target="pattern" >
  <test name="family" qual="any" >
   <string>console</string>
  </test>
  <edit mode="append" name="family" >
   <string>mono</string>
  </edit>
  <edit mode="assign" name="spacing" >
   <string>mono</string>
  </edit>
 </match>

and this solves the problem. I wonder if it's a fontconfig bug or console 
font's bug? I heard a lot of people have the same incorrect behavior.
