I got the new Dillo version 3.0.5 (in the master air-gapped box, which I yet have to clone onto this, for online, same hardware box), as it is available in gentoo:

but my problem with fonts (the FAQ issue http://www.dillo.org/FAQ.html#q27), to which eocene has kindly given the tip for in his message:

For people reading this message offline, I'll paste his advice, since it is also important:
If you go to dw/fltkplatform.cc and, in FltkFont::initSystemFonts(), remove the leading underscore in _MSG("Found font: %s%s%s\n", name, t & FL_BOLD ? " bold" : "", to get MSG("Found font: %s%s%s\n", name, t & FL_BOLD ? " bold" : "", and recompile, what does dillo say when you run it?
But we were wrong! And it was only something an unimaginative person like me can be capable of not figuring out despite urgent need and sincere desire because of that urgent need (my eyes have been hurting from the fixed not-much-more-than ASCII font that was all I've seen in, what?, a few months?
We were wrong! It only needed that the fltk be recompiled with, guess what?, with the the XFT font renederer!
That was the sole missing thing.
I'm glad you finally nailed the issue, and have proper fonts.
But I think I am going to file a bug on Gentoo Bugzilla about this! (But if anybody can tell a reason that justifies the xft use flag not being the default, pls. do tell me... in which case my filing the bug would not make sense; I don't see such reason though.)
I neither see a reason for this... -- Cheers Jorge.-
