This definitely sounds like a possible alignment problem. Check
out the call to GrArea in engine/devfont.c, that's where all this
happens. That code was written a little too quickly, and it
still needs some work (drawing black foreground is broken
in this area).

it can be built-in???
Pick any BDF font you like, and then use the fonts/convbdf script
to convert them to .c files to link them into the server. If you want
to capture fonts, I wrote a program for Win32 that will take
any screen-displayed font and capture it. Tom extended the
program for wide fonts, his code will be checked in CVS shortly.
