The two fonts I tried in my xterm where the "vga" font snagged from
dosemu, and the "10x20" font that comes with X.  The problem occurred
under both.

I tried using script command, but it doesn't run within GNU screen.
I'll try some other virtual terminals such as rxvt and a newer version
of xterm to see whether the problem follows me there.

I just use whatever is default in pkgsrc.  I'll report back if I find a
solution, but it may take a while. =)
