gnuplot manual misprint (no.20)

In term/wxt.trm and term/win.trm:

 * $Id: win.trm,v 1.47 2006/05/14 14:09:25 broeker Exp $
 (wxt had no line for $Id$)

I found a point that seems to be a misprint. I send the unified
diff file for them.

I also think that the entry "$(T)wxt.trm" should be added to the 
variable CORETERM in docs/Makefile.in.

Probably.

Actually, that sentence should just be deleted.  The current terminal
does in fact work with Wingdings and at least some other non-conforming
fonts.

I just commited the typo corrections for wxt.trm . I will check soon with
different versions of pango to see how it works with the fonts, and will
update this help message accordingly.

By the way, I will add an $Id$ line to the wxWidgets terminal files,
thanks again Shigeharu for mentioning that.

Best regards,

This one has already been corrected by Hans-Bernhard Broecker.
