This was fixed by the application of the Debian patches.

The Debian report recommends to test with

xterm -fa freemono

I have done this, and it looks good.

The bug is well detailed with test cases in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=376677

Indeed it appears that some glyphs have a width that is different from 600, which causes a very weird spacing problem in some cases.

The attached patch, which is a bit crude, fixes it.

I'm wondering whether the "font not recognized as monospace in KDE" but I already reported wouldn't be related to this one
