I can reproduce this using the Luxi Mono font ('Monospace' isn't a real font, it supposedly maps to the system fixed-width font)

The reason is that Luxi Mono isn't really a monospace font and some characters are indeed wider than others.  If you open the font list inside Konsole (Settings -> Edit Current Profile -> Appearance -> Edit Font...) you can see that "Luxi Mono" is not listed because it doesn't meet this criteria.  Konsole is only designed to work with actual monospace fonts - any shown in that list should work.

What distribution are you using?  It is unusual for the "Monospace" font to map to something like Luxi.  One reason being that Luxi is not shipped out of the box on Debian/Ubuntu etc. for some licensing reason.
