Comment 1 Nicolas Mailhot 2011-12-22 14:36:28 UTC

monospace is a virtual font constructed by fontconfig out of installed system fonts. Its composition will vary depending on the fonts installed. If you install less fonts monospace will contain less glyphs

Please identify the actual fonts that changed on your system and open bugs against the corresponding packages (or against freetype if the font files didn't change but the rendering got worse)

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Identifying_fonts

fontpackages is a specific rpm used by other font packages not a generic 'I don't know which font is broken' bugzilla entry point

Comment 2 Geoff Streeter 2011-12-22 15:32:25 UTC

The fonts that seem to have degraded are (at least) Liberation Mono and DejaVu Sans Mono.

Using the Kcharselect on Fedora 16 and the Kcharselect on Ubuntu 11.10 (I no longer have my Fedora 13 installation) then these characters have disappeared. As have ⍱⍲.
