I am very belatedly catching up with this question. It doesn't seem
to me the bug should be closed.
It appears that things work for some combinations of terminal
programs, font selections, and TERM variable settings, but not others.
It seems to me it should work for all, or it should be better
documented why it doesn't.
I can't fully check this behavior because I am having other, more
serious font problems. If I select Lucida-Typewriter font in my KDE
Konsole now, nothing at all shows up. However, if I set the font to
medium in the Konsole settings, things work OK with TERM=xterm (the
default) but not TERM=linux. Same for an xterm.
It *might* be appropriate to close this if the defaults for all
relevant packages put in sensible values and alternatives, so the
problem does not arise. I'm not sure what all "relevant" packages
are, since some of this stuff might go in general start up files.
