  Hmm, here that just gives "tiny" fontsize, ~ 1.5mm character
height.
  And "-fs 24" does exactly the same, as does -fs 120. So not a lot
of
  joy there.

  Yes, even xterm (without -u8) displays the apostrophes and hyphens
_if_
  I leave off the "-fn 10x20". Now, if I can just find a way to
actually
  set the fontsize?

  Many thanks for the datapoints. It's a pity it's not working here.
