Kde konsole messes fonts - gnome-terminal looks ok. Reason?

I have strange situation - after some upgrade couple of days ago fonts in KDE konsole broke. To make it more specific - standard fonts look more or less ok, but when I use my national characters (like ąćęłńśóźż) they all look broken - like from another font, or badly scaled.

The same problem doesn't exist in gnome-terminal.

I usually use Terminus font, so I used this for demonstration, but it shows in other fonts as well - if that will be necessary I will provide list.

gnome-terminal shot:

As for my settings:

Code: Select all
=$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Builtin Default intel Device 0"
    Driver  "intel"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
    Identifier     "Monitor0"
    VendorName     "Monitor Vendor"
    ModelName      "Monitor Model"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
    Identifier  "Builtin Default intel Screen 0"
    Device  "Builtin Default intel Device 0"
    Monitor "Monitor0"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "touchpad"
    Driver  "synaptics"
    Option "CorePointer"
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier  "Builtin Default Layout"
    Screen  "Builtin Default intel Screen 0"
    InputDevice "touchpad"
EndSection

Code: Select all
=$ xdpyinfo | grep -E resolution\|dimensions
  dimensions:    1680x1050 pixels (444x277 millimeters)
  resolution:    96x96 dots per inch

I tried forcing DPI in system settings (to 120), or adding monitor size to xorg.conf - so far nothing helped.

Any idea on what should I do to make it work sanely again?

Does it work correctly under a new user?

No. Created new user, logged in, and the problem is still there.

This is likely a regression then. Which version of KDE are you currently using?

I can reproduce it with Konsole 2.3.3 (KDEmod 4.3.4) and Terminus. You might want to file a bug report on bugs.kde.org unless there already is one for this problem.

I've got the same problem. It looks like KDE does not read all characters for Terminus font, or reads in only one encoding. If you go to System settings -> Font installer, you see that terminus has very few characters there, and does not have special national characters.
However, I've no idea how this can be solved. I'd guess it's some bug in KDE, but on the other hand downgrading KDE to previous version does not help at all.

Any ideas?

Have you checked with that bug report?
