Sorry for little explanation. To see the file,
   $ gzip -cd TestPanel.xwd.gz | xwud
xwd(1) and xwud(1) are the utilities accompanied with X11R6.

I tried it with a few fonts of different sizes, and got the same results.
What is strange is that some applications display strings correctly while
the other ones not.  When I changed the string of that program, it sometimes
worked fine.  It seemingly depends on the length of a given string.  But
I could not find any behavioral order.

If you feel this example is not relevent to you, please leave it out for
a while.  If this is the case, I think I should write another bug report 
to prevent
other people from being confused.
