ok. seems like I missed some development here ;-)
But:

1. set term x11 font "mbfont:-efont-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-*-160-*-*-c-*-iso10646-1"
doesn't display all unicode characters correctly, but the specified font
is a perfectly valid unicode font. I left 'encoding' untouched.

2. set term x11 font "mbfont:efont,14" 
works and displays all (unicode) characters correctly. But it makes
plotting REALLY slow.  Try to rotate some 3d splot interactively, e.g.
'splot x*y w l' with the above font option and compare it when having a
font spec like "9x15".

To summarize: option 1 is fast but doesn't work, option 2 works but is
really slow.

Any comments on these?
