This may be a font cache problem. Can you try the following:

Edit the file

~/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/%gconf.xml

and make sure that there are the following lines

     <entry name="font" type="string">
             <stringvalue>Courier 12</stringvalue>
     </entry>
     <entry name="use_system_font" type="bool" value="false"/>

If there are similar lines, change them (apart from some mtime="xxxxx" 
field which has no importance). If there aren't, add them inside the 
<gconf>...</gconf> block.

If the file does not exist or is not owned by you, then this may hint at 
a different error.

Does this help?
