+ refresh (reported by Mikachu).

+ recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
+ - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
+ try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
+ (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).

+ sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).

+ in need of fixing. go figure.
