Yes, fonts are broken in many ways. QT aparently messes everything up with
merging glyphs in from other fonts, too. This might be acceptable for kword
but not for konsole, as it breaks the spacing.
Something with the code page has been broken either, as the linux font was
earlier tested to do well with with iso10646 font. The unicode font is not
too usable, as it contains some 10 thousand glyphs, which indeed takes a few
cycles and konsole is not too likely to cope with double width glyphs as
needed for kanji and friends.
As other things i find important things have been broken either, especially
full screen mode, i'll do a maintainance round in a bit and fixing unicode
support and removing some "features" like font mixing is pretty high on my
list.
