It's most likely about rendering ARGB visuals in the compositor.
Fonts should be rendered in SW and make no difference. Since konsole is by 
default one of the few ARGB windows and hardly contains anything but fonts, 
it's what you see. But fonts are likely rendered in the client (so make no 
difference from anything else) and showing the picture will happen in a 24bit 
window.

a) what if you suspend compositing (shift+alt+f12, given you're using kwin)
b) what if you use the xrender compositor ("kcmshell4 kwincompositing", last 
tab)
c) what if you run konsole in RGB mode ("konsole --nofork --notransparency")

if all or any of this fixes it, you'll have to clarify whether this happens  on 
kwin (GLX) or kwin_gles (guess what) and in the GLX case when using OpenGL 2 
shaders or not (or that's irrelevant)

If it was on nvidia only i'd btw. guess you've FXAA enabled, but the way it is, 
it actually will rather be a bug in either nouveau or kwin.
We however got to figure "where".

Cheers,
Thomas
