 I forgot to mention something
 I have another computer with ubuntu 10.04 where in GEDIT
 ā ī ū ē ō  looks EXACT as normal chars a i u e o ,
 so maybe it is inaccuracy with KDE - QT and not by Terminus self ?
 Or maybe usage of some USE Flags can fix it ?
 Yet i can not test it because i have this HDD new formatted.
