           Summary: *wide* chars in fixed fonts with utf-8
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: armin at xos.net


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.5) 
OS:                Linux

locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
font: fixed / misc /regular / 15

when i use vim to edit a UTF-8 text file *wide* characters are actually wide
and not *fixed* size. when i use xterm and vim it works. (xterm also lets one
specify a wide font to find characters).

xlsfonts shows me the right font is intalled:

-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-iso10646-1

i presume konsole is using an iso-latin variant and a different fallback for
wide characters.

so the bug can be:

1) konsole is not using the right font

or

2) a wide font needs to be configured like in xterm, but i don't see how and
where


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
in konsole:

export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
choose font: fixed / misc / regular / 15
start vim with a file with e.g "m-dashes"
try to edit that line

Actual Results:  
wide characters are *wide* and become normal when i'm over them in the cursor.
such a line is un-editable...

Expected Results:  
a fixed font is a fixed font.

tried on gentoo linux and netbsd. same results.

xterm let's us specify 2 fonts for fixed: for normal and wide chars
maybe konsole needs that too?
