   I'm unable to reproduce this with vim 6.4 and my older gnome-terminal, and 
I don't have an FC5 box yet.  It therefore sounds like a gnome-terminal bug, 
esp. since gnome's been doing loads of font rendering optimisations [not that 
these may be relevant].  Esp. as it's OK in an xterm of the same size 
[assumption].

   I recommend raising a report in redhat's bugzilla.
