zaurak: Please confirm that your game is detected as "Simon1 (Floppy/German)" or similar i.e. the language has been correctly detected.
This should be accounted for by the german_simonFont data table in engines/agos/charset-fontdata.cpp
Unless this data is wrong or otherwise the font characters are not correctly display by Common code, then the issue is probably either that the version's language is not reported as German.

I re-added the game to ScummVM, to be sure. It is detected as Amiga AGA floppy German (detection screenshot attached), but the bug is still present. Do the Amiga versions use that charset-fontdata.cpp, too?

This is tricky code to follow as it is fairly complex and tangled.. But I can't see any difference in the usage of fonts for Amiga in the function which uses these tables i.e. void AGOSEngine::windowDrawChar(WindowBlock *window, uint x, uint y, byte chr)
However, the string rendering code here has two different function paths, Amiga and Non-Amiga i.e. void AGOSEngine::renderString(uint vgaSpriteId, uint color, uint width, uint height, const char *txt) - Non-Amiga void AGOSEngine::renderStringAmiga(uint vgaSpriteId, uint color, uint width, uint height, const char *txt) - Amiga Though neither seem to access the font table directly, it is possible that the code differences in the Amiga string rendering are causing the German font glyphs to be truncated, or that the string rendering code for Amiga fails to use the Non-English font data...
An AGOS dev with Amiga and Windows/DOS versions of Simon1 will need to investigate (I only have Simon1 Win/DOS, so can't look at this).

The glitches were due to ScummVM lacking the extra font data required by the German Amiga version of Simon the Sorcerer 1.
I added the font data for the German Amiga version of Simon the Sorcerer 1 to ScummVM Git, use the next daily snapshot of ScummVM GIT.
