When investigating whether the new font backend had made a particular
cursor display bug on Windows disappear a few months back, I noticed
that the old font code is still used for drawing box cursors. As far as
I could tell, that was the case on all platforms. I didn't get a
response to the mail where I mentioned it, so I don't know whether it is
an oversight or a known TODO, and whether it has since been fixed. It
might be worth setting a breakpoint in the box cursor drawing code in
xterm.c and see if it is hit, and how it ends up drawing the text.
