Package: konsole
Version: KDE 2.2.2 
Severity: normal
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
Compiler:          any
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

The greek letter "pi" does not appear at all in a konsole window.
Instead a box is displayed in it's place.
This error appears only in konsole, not in other KDE applications.

In the past, this problem was a little bit different. Instead of displaying this letter, nothing was displayed, making the positioning of characters *after* this letter almost impossible.

Now at least in the "pi" letter position, there is a box.

I have to say that this letter is more or less special. The position of this letter is double": one for the mathematical symbol "pi" and one for the greek alphabet letter "pi".
Of course in both cases, it *is* the same letter, so most fonts have this glyph only once (which is right).

So what I suspect is that konsole couldn't understand this situation.
