Re: serious problem, I don't know where to report!
No need to post to boot@. Nothing to do with boot@. user@ should be
just fine, for looking for a work-around. (switching to
<debian-user@lists.debian.org>.)

That's not a font problem. Try pasting it into a text editor. If
you're not convinced, save the pasted text as a file and look at the
file with hexdump -C.

The input methods' default keyboard shortcuts are not my favorite.
Really hate having my slow fingers switch methods after I type a
capital letter, for instance. What's causing the IME switch in your
case is not clear at this point.
ctl-space might get you back.

Looking on <http://lists.debian.org/completeindex.html>, it looks like
there's no more specific group than <debian-i18n@lists.debian.org>.
(Did I miss a group for unicode and wide character handling?) I'm
going to bend the rules a little and cross-post this post.

Heh. MSWindows IMEs tend to get even more in the way, switching input
methods by guesses about the context.

Well, do you need input methods installed? That's my guess, anyway.
They might have gotten installed when you added support for Spanish or
something. You could try un-installing them, but watch your
dependencies.
Also, check your task bar. You might find a (legible or not) icon that
you can click on to select the input method (and related stuff) from a
menu.
If there is, there should also be a menu item in there that leads to
settings that will allow you to change the keyboard shortcuts. Which
would be another way to get it out of your way without dropping fancy
character support for foreign languages.
