I have figured it out too. Will add the version provided by the GnuWin32
project.

Well, it's something that I need to work on. The actual code does only
work with a unicode-enabled wxWidgets, because pango wants utf8 strings,
and I use wxWidgets conversion routines. So there can be two suspects :
pango which may not find well-suited fonts (unicode...), and wxWidgets
which fails to convert to utf8.
As pango depends on glib, I should maybe use directly glib functions to
convert encodings.

What do you mean by "strange surface" ? Are other plot commands working
properly ?

As waitforinput is set to 0 in the windows terminal table, I can maybe
add the use of waitforinput under windows, with a check such as "if
(term->waitforinput)" (as it is done under other platforms). What do you
think of it ?
