Congrats!

There are still some points that I do not understand about the terminal,
even though I've been using it for a while now.
Could you provide some additional information on

 - where does the terminal find its fonts?  If I want to make a
   new font available to it, where do I put it or what do I need
   to change in the system configuration?

 - How do I disable the 'q' and 'spacebar' hotkeys.
   I know we've been discussing changing this everywhere,
   but how do I do it right now?

 - I do not understand what the logic is for resizing the plot=20
   drawn in a resized window.  Unlike most (all?) other terminals,
   the plot is not always redrawn so that it fills the window.
   An explicit "replot" command always causes the plot to be redrawn
   so that it fills the window; why does the dynamic re-sizing behave
   differently?

 - Also when the plot window is resized, sometimes the font size
   stays the same, sometimes it scales smoothly, and sometimes
   it jumps in increments. =20

 - (programmers question): If I want to add itenms to the configuration
   menu widget, what is required?  For instance, could one add a font
   browser there?
