Oh, hell, never mind, I'm an idiot.

As per my other mail, the font list appears to show all the necessary
fonts; could you please run the command

That'll probably indicate what font Ethereal is choosing as the
fixed-width font.

Then, after doing that, select the "Properties" menu item from the
"Edit" menu, select the "GUI" tab from the "Properties" dialog box, and
press the "Fonts..." button; it'll let you select a different font. 
Click "OK" once you've selected a font, and then click "Apply" in the
"Properties" dialog box to test the font; when you have a font that
works, click "Save" in the "Properties" dialog box to permanently save
your font choice.
