The problem happens with both local and remote xterm, the remote one
running on a freebsd system. It happens no matter what font I specify
for the xterm. A remote emacs works fine, but I don't think it uses
Xft. To test the hypothesis that Xft rendering is somehow broken, what
other applications can I try? Oh, wait: xfd seems to be one. It works
perfectly, just adding to the mystery.

Didn't change a thing, but thanks; I'll keep it for future reference.
