I've now managed a more thorough investigation, and it appears that there
are 3 fonts which suffer from this problem "Monospace", "Sans" and "Serif"
(there may be some of the more obscure ones as well but of the mainstream
fonts that I've checked, those are the affected ones.

Of the various terminal emulators where abitrary fonts can be easily
selected: Terminal, xfce4-terminal and gnome-terminal are affected,
konsole is not.
