Exactly. The best info I was able to find is this: http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde&m=110617132115635&w=2 > In the KDE control center font installation > all the Luxi fonts are listed as postscript type 1, however > they are installed as TTF as well: > > xorg-x11-fonts-truetype-7.0-3 /usr/share/X11/fonts/TTF/luximb.ttf etc. > and > xorg-x11-fonts-Type1-7.0-3 /usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1/l047013t.pfa etc. Apparently deleting the type1 font solves the problem, because the TTF is seen as monospaced.

I had a look into the type1 files /usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1/l047016t.afm and /usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1/l047036t.afm and I saw that some letters have widths=653 instead of 600. Maybe this is the reason that invalidates the "monospace" attribute.
