Font problem: infamouse little squares

[Marco Laverdière <laverdi@aei.ca>]

 Hi to all,
 
 Here's the problem:  I'm using kde 3.1.1 on Debian sid with anti-alias fonts
 option enabled.  I have fontconfig, freetype2 and libxft2 packages
 installed.  The only (and small) problem I'm experiencing is that some
 caracters, especially some spaces before ":", are rendered as little
 squares.  The problem is not experienced if AA fonts option is turned off
 or within GTK apps.
 
 It seems to be a common problem, since it has been reported many times, in
 various forms.  Yet, I didn't find any solution.  I've check my config
 files and the appear to point to right directories and I've check my
 directories and they appear to be in the right place.
 
 Any help will be appreciated.
 
 Thanks.
