Close inspection reveals that the fonts looks mostly correct, and that most of the undesirable pixels are "video artifacts". Assuming the problem remains isolated to konsole, it is most likely a problem with the kde libraries on your particular combination of X/video card.
I don't think is is a KDE library problem (as long as the OP did not do something weird to KDE manually). I personally don't use Konsole. however everything is displayed correctly with I fired it up. Something else is going on here. Maybe it is a compiz problem? I don't use it or have it installed so I can't verify.
