You didn't say it was gnome-terminal... Well, gnome-terminal uses bitmap
fonts, but it silently fails when you select a font that doesn't contain
all the characters needed for the encoding corresponding to your locale.
If you know how to modify the fonts to have all the characters, I'm
willing to try, as I package xfonts-gimpers, and a couple in there are
broken.

Actually, it is a gnome-control-center bug, it will be fixed in the
release following 1.99.10.

* main.c (DESKTOP_FONT_NAME_KEY): get it to use the right key.
You can still edit /apps/nautilus/preferences/desktop_font by hand, with
gconf-editor though.
