Please, Richard, answer to my previous mail (or this one ;) otherwise we
will never know where your problem comes from with wxt and we won't be
able to debug it. Please confirm that you are using "oversampling" by
looking at the configuration dialog in the wxt terminal (the tool icon on
the right). Please also run 'fc-list' in a console, it will give you a
list of fonts known to fontconfig. Please also try :

set term wxt font ",200"

or another very large font size just in case.

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,
