Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)

Hi,
the konsole's 'Linux' font is severly broken, it doesn't display graphical symbols properly.
This bug is similar if not the same as 'bugnr:45250'. also repainting the konsole doesn't work very well.
ie. if i try to view binary file with mcedit then return back to mc, there's garbage all over the screen. 
maybe this is related to the broken font displaying.

This bug is back! I just downloaded and installed the latest version of RedHat
8.0 (including KDE 3.0.3, Qt 3.0.5, and Konsole 1.1.3). Whenever the non-custom
Konsole font is selected (ie "Normal", "Small", etc.) in the "Settings"-"Font"
menu, many characters in the man pages and in the minicom display showup as
boxes or other strange characters. Moreover, running "man crontab" not only
displays the  box characters, it also leaves "screen scat" (bits of formerly
displayed characters) all over the screen. Also, I have seen "black rivers"
running through my Linux-colors display (white text on black background) with
the standard Konsole font. Although using the custom fonts (Courier, Courier 10
Pitch, Lucidatypewriter, Luxi Mono, and Monospace =usually= fixes the screen
scat and black river problem (but not always!), only Lucidatypewriter actually
displays dash characters as dashes, rather than as boxes.

What can I do to resolve this problem on my computer (Dell Inspiron 7500.R500YT,
128 MB SDRAM, 20 GB hard disk - lots of free space for Linux)? It looks like
this bug report should probably be reopened...

Thanks for your help.
