It sounds like somehow your font directory has got screwed up.  Pandora uses
a font full of spaces (/usr/lib/fmfonts/space10.fm - I think) while you
are typing the password.  It sounds like your space10.fm has somehow become
a font with real glyphs.

Pandora uses this font so that it could use a standard text field from the
toolkit it uses.
