Thanks for the reply Phillip. 

You're partially right, in that konsole was attempting to use incorrect fonts, 
but the problem was not user-induced :)

The symptom is that the  's c r e w e d  u p  t e x t' occurs no matter _what_ 
font the end user selects. Alan Chandler has done some great work in tracking 
down the source of this irritating bug.
