Using KDE, as current in testing:

Fonts have been an endless source of headaches for me on this machine,
though I recently discovered I had a syntax error in a fontconfig
file, and things have been better since then.

I'm not sure how to determine which fonts this app is using. The
preferences, which I have not touched, show Sans 12 as the font, and
monospace 12 the font under query preferences. It's not clear to me
these are relevant to the displayed grid; clearly it's using a bold
for the column headers.
Note I do have some truetype fonts in use.

---------------------------------
/etc/fonts/local.conf, which I think is used by libfontconfig1.
Note the addition of defoma and TrueType stuff.
--------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">

-->
<!-- Uncomment below to enable the freetype autohinter module -->
<match target="font">
<edit name="autohint" mode="assign">
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>
---------------------------------------------------
By the way, the error I used to have was to have an extra --> at the
end of the line "Uncomment below to enable subpixel rendering". So I
had unmatched comment markers.
The included defoma configuration file ends with these lines:
--------------------------------------------
<alias>
<family>serif</family>
<default><family>NimbusRomNo9L-Medi</family></default>
</alias>
<alias>
<family>monospace</family>
<default><family>LMTypewriter10</family></default>
</alias>
<alias>
<family>sans-serif</family>
<default><family>LMSans10-Regular</family></default>
</alias>
-----------------------------------------------
They are probably relevant to the interpretation of the Sans and
monospace in the preferences of the app.
Final observation: KDE has some kind of magic it does that can affect
the fonts even of non-KDE apps. I'm not sure if it's relevant to
commands launched from Konsole. This problem looks the same whether I
launch pgadmin3 from Konsole or menu.
