I have done further analysis of this problem.  Its XFT returning what appears to be 
bogus font widths with the "Fixed Pitch" attribute is set.  QT uses that bit to request a 
font which is reported by XFT to be either XFT_MONO or XFT_CHARCELL.  XFT 
returns what looks like a matching font but the character widths, as obtained from 
XftTextExtent16 are too large. 
 
The actual problem I reported is related to the Console font.  XFT seems to reckon this 
is large (font widths in proportional mode of approximately 11 pixels for a 12point font - 
thats more like a 10 or 9 point font) and in monospaced mode it is returning a font width 
of a massive 26 pixels. 
 
I have attempted to report the bug at debian (whose packages I am using) and on the 
fontconfig mailing list.
