I have tried to build gnuplot 5.0.6 on windows.
However, gnuplot_qt process fails to start

For starting qt terminal

gnuplot> set term qt
gnuplot> plot x

Warning: slow font initializationgnuplot>

Seeing task (process) manager on windows 10, I cannot see gnuplot_qt.exe.
This does not happens on gnuplot-5.0.6pre and 5.1 (2017-03-19).

I have tried both my original build dependency and msys2 dependency.
But results are the same

@Bastian

Did you see the similar phenomenon?
