[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
I'm using Guix on Debian testing.  The output displayed in a wxMaxima
session is unreadable: lines are overlapping. Please see attached
screenshot.

The maxima Guix package version is 5.39.0.

The maxima 5.38.1 coming with Debian works without any problem.

Did you try building 5.38.1 with Guix? That could help us know if the
problem is in maxima or in our packaging.

I referred to the maxima version, but the problem is really with
wxMaxima and not with maxima itself.  So, the current Guix wxMaxima
version is 16.12.2 while Debian's version is 16.04.2.  I tried the
latter version in Guix and it doesn't show the problem.

Should we downgrade to 16.04.02?
