I did a fresh Kubuntu install on a new computer. I can boot, log in and use KDE... however, when I use the console (konsole), there are strange artifacts.
Take a look at the two screenshots attached there:

In the first one, you can see file and directory listing in the konsole. Notice that all the long directory names are truncated at the end. At first, I thought it was a feature!! But no. On the screenshot, you can see the following directory names truncated:
In the second screenshot, you can see a man page within Konsole. Look at
in your own console and see how the long options are all truncated.
Also, I had to modify a configuration file with vi, and similarly, some words were truncated, but I could read all the word if I moved my cursor from one letter to the next, as if there was not enough space to show the whole word at once...
What could cause this??
