So if there are no “funny” characters in KDE3 then it means that the file system OK, your pictures are OK - maybe you have already figured out this. 
Update your KDE4 installation, and if the pictures are on the same drive with your home directory do a backup.
Check your fonts in the Configure desktop - Appearance - Fonts
Have you changed these. I had some strange fonts showing up with certain font selections.
Switch to defaults and see if it clears up.
