Take a look at either debian bug 179519 or kde bug 52538 - both reported by me 
on this issue.  I have been slowly chasing through layers of bugs and 
problems which are reported in these two reports.

The bottom line is that it is an iteraction with fontconfig and you can fix 
the problem with the following in /etc/fonts/local.conf

<match>
	<test name="family">
		<string>fixed</string>
	</test>
	<edit name="family" mode="assign" binding="strong">
		<string>console</string>
	</edit>
</match>

[Obviously change the string console to the name of any other font that you 
want]
