Can confirm that this bug still exists in KDE SC 4.4.2, testing in Kubuntu
Karmic (9.10) using the KDE 4.4 backports repository.  Inconsolata and other
fixed-width fonts, when bolded, are cut off within Konsole (both in bash and in
vim) and Kate.  This makes development somewhat tricky, as many things are
bolded by the default syntax highlighter (in C++, for example, literals,
comments, and keywords).

I think scrolling through a long string literal in a syntax-highlighted source
file in vim would be helpful to diagnose this, for someone more familiar with
the internals of Qt or Konsole.  A feeble attempt to describe it: it looks like
some code somewhere is miscalculating the size of the bounding box for bolded
text.  If I type the lower-case alphabet within a string literal, when I put my
cursor on the far left, I can see a-w and the left half of x.  As I move the
cursor to the right, I uncover the right half of x, y, z, and the close quote. 
Everything to the left of the cursor shows up fine.
