This bug is due to a change in qt-3.0.5, in qfont_x11.cpp, function 
sampleCharacter. This function picks a sample character for a script to test 
if particular script is present in the font. For GeometricSymbols script it 
picks unicode character 0x25a1, which is not present in "linux" font. Thus Qt 
thinks line-drawing characters are not present in the font, and doesn't 
display them. In previous versions of Qt it picked char 0x2500, which is 
present in Linux font, and thus everything used to work. Need to either add 
character 0x25a1 to the font, or patch Qt.
