[Bug 177923] [NEW] some monospace fonts are not monospace

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

System: fresh kubuntu 7-10 (konsole 1.6.6, KDE  3.5.8),
LANG=en_US.UTF-8.

To reproduce:
In konsole, run 'cat .kde/Autostart/.directory', then scroll back
(preferably with shift-arrows) and watch the line "Name[km]=..."

The letters are substituted by squares whose width is larger than 1
but smaller than 2 ordinary characters.  They garble other lines when scrolled.

There is a similar problem with the line 'Name[ta]=...' . The letters are
rendered but the width is wrong, and it produces garbage when scrolled.

On my system, the font in konsole is set to Monospace-Regular-15.
Other fonts sizes have the same problem.

Here are those lines (copy-pasted from konsole):

Name[km]=ចាបផដើមសវយបរវតត
Name[ta]=தானாகதுவககு
