Note that this is not a problem of KDE or XFree86, but an
incompatibility between freetype 2.0.2 and the font file
n021004l.pfa ('Nimbus Roman No9 L Medium' from URW fonts
and also AbiSuite) which used to work. It is the glyph
'�' (\,c) appearantly.
The bug is not fixed in the CVS version of freetype2 and
it also affects non-Qt programs like xterm.
The following hotfix solved the issue for me, but probably
is not the right thing [tm].
