Ok, I redid the screenshots, but this time I made sure to cat the
xgraphics file again after changig the font. And, you can see the G0/G1
VT100 line drawing modes, for the less-complete fonts, are getting the
ASCII fallbacks. Except for Terminus, for some reason.
I also added the Consolas-W7 snap you sent, and a new entry for
Liberation Mono.
