Not a bug, but inconvenient: yes.
unifont is not a mono-spaced font. It contains characters that are
either 8 or 16 pixels wide. This works splendidly with yudit, but not
with terminal emulators.
I wish terminal-emulators could do somethings sensible with these
degenerate variable-width fonts, because it's a very convenient way to
design a font.
I actually saw the same thing two days ago when I first heard about
xterm's -u8 option.
