Hi Phil: All glyphs are present for example 23 and example 24 if you use wxwidgets-3.0.2! What a nice surprise (and relief) to find such a simple solution for what looked like a potentially nasty bug. Note the epa_build of wxwidgets-3.0.2 and PLplot went very smoothly on Linux for commit id 4790677 (the current master tip.) I haven't yet looked at all ~30 examples, but I will probably do that tomorrow and let you know of any obvious differences (such as for example 23 and 24) with the results we have been getting for cmake-2.8.12. The only wxwidgets issue I have run into so far that is special to epa_build is the environment variable export NO_AT_BRIDGE=1 needs to be set to shut off an annoying DBUS warning message due to the fact that epa_build uses gtk+ as a set of ordinary libraries rather than as part of a comprehensive desktop solution. But setting that environment variable is automatic now for the particular Linux epa_build setup file that I use (i.e., cmake/epa_build/setup/setup_linux_makefiles). Since we now have at least one instance where 3.0.2 gives a (much) better result than 2.8.12 (and there may also be tests where 3.0.2 gives a worse result than 2.8.12), then your trello board should probably record which wxwidgets version (and also OS platform) was used for each reported test result.
