Not only w3m, it works for less, joe and emacs as well !

I've worked some hours the last days to find fonts in my system
which work for the pager. I've put the result in .Xdefaults:
! The following fonts work with mutt's builtin pager:

Where have you got this one from ?

libncursesw.so.8 versus libncurses.so.8 ! Could that make the difference ?
Is +HAVE_CURS_SET or +HAVE_WC_FUNCS responsible here ?
Okay, basically the problem is solved. And I like the GNU Unifont.
Thank you very much, Derek, for your great help.
Our mutt port is version 1.5 since 22-Jul-12.
I hesitate to upgrade again for the moment, because last time everything
worked like 1.4 except .mailcap for some reason. So I went back to 1.4.
