Thank you very much for your testing.
Yes, I can confirm, that fonts {CP850_,TURK}{8,14}.FV are incorrect and they must be replaced.
Exact aligning the right column is now possible only with fixed width fonts but Fontana uses in GUI proportional font. Solution for this is not so easy so maybe in some future version.

Yes, it is not bug (but feature), because, as you write, it can be useful to copy characters between fonts

I do not have problems to load WQY_11PT.BDF or WQY_11PT.FU

Please, if you use Windows, try to use this distribution with integrated DOSBox which also works fine for me:
