This would break all terminal applications to non English speaking users. I use
mutt to read my emails that come in Spanish, English and Japanese.

There is no single font that supports all three languages so limiting the
terminal to a single font would be impractical for users like me.

The real issue here is not Konsole but fontconfig that is not configured
correctly for your case. Here is blog post explaining the issue and possible
fix:
