xterm patch #349 implements this feature:
reorganize text-drawing to make it possible to investigate using Xft to
implement VT100-style double-sized characters. While doing this, made
a workaround for apparent Xft bug which loses its drawable state when
switching from 132 to 80 columns.
(the workaround refers to the double-buffer feature, which is not completely
resolved yet, but unrelated to this report).
