I forgot to mention something
I have another computer with ubuntu 10.04 where in GEDIT
ā ī ū ē ō looks EXACT as normal chars a i u e o ,
so maybe it is inaccuracy with KDE - QT and not by Terminus self ?
Or maybe usage of some USE Flags can fix it ?
Yet i can not test it because i have this HDD new formatted.
