The screenshots seemed to show that some parts of the cells drawn for each character weren't being (re)painted. The problem could be from a variety of places, however for the default "fixed" font, it usually doesn't point at xterm (otherwise it would be visible in lots of configurations). Most of the logic involved for the fixed font seems to be in the X server itself (xterm is using Xlib calls which have been very stable, barring whatever's going on with Xcb). So I'd start by trying to factor out the X server, then look at libraries (on the client side) such as the low-level X11 vs Xcb. -- Thomas E.
