That worked. Thank you very much!
Incidently, the reconfigure dialogue claims that it is possible to
enable or disable the bitmapped fonts per user, but I can't find a way
of doing that with the GUI.
While looking for that, I went into Settings -> GNOME Control Centre
-> Font. I didn't change anything, but when I closed the window all
the fonts were screwed up and I couldn't restore them except by
logging out. This looks like a fairly serious bug, but I have no idea
which package is to blame. If anyone does, could they please file a
bug? I'm using KDE, though I did try GNOME a few times earlier. It's a
fairly fresh installation of RC3. However, I did have to manually edit
XF86Config-4 after installing because the installer got the resolution
of my LCD screen wrong and didn't detect one of my mice, in case that
matters.
Is there any good reason for the GNOME Control Centre to appear in the
KDE menu system? If there isn't, then removing it might be the fix.

But I use UTF-8 and I want these characters to be available:

As stated above, I'm using KDE, but gnome-terminal seems to be the
standard terminal in KDE in Debian 3.1. This was also true for a Red
Hat machine with KDE that I looked at.
