hi, i don't know much about this stuff, but as you see squares and not just strange letters, i think your app actually uses the font. i had the same problem with some ttf fonts. there was no pattern which font worked and wich didn't. as this did not happen to the root user, i checked permissions, but they were right. it turned out, that the problem was a library of an application that was not in roots path. it was libqt-mt.so.3. when i replaced the calls to programs that use this library with a 'wraper-script' that sets the path, executes the program that needs this specific version and resets the path upon leaving everything was fine.
