I can confirm this bug and would like to add that I face  problems also
with the other encodings of the misc-fixed font. It seems that only the
ascii fontset remains unaffected.

I'd greatly appreciate any hint/advice how to work around this bug,
since I use EMACS in a multilanguage environment for nearly every
possible text-oriented task and this problem is very annoying,
especially when dealing with non-ascii and multilingual files. Switching
to a larger font-size doesn't fix the problem, since the non-ascii
characters still remain (at least) half the size of the other
characters.

It's noteworthy that under Debian I had the same problem, but it was
easily cured by putting "(set-default-font "7x14")" in .emacs -- a
solution that doesn't work with Dapper, unfortunalely.

The affected package is perhaps xfonts-base.
