I have LUI running on WSL, but characters in feature names are not rendering correctly. I’ve looked into whether this could be because a font isn’t installed and taken a glance at the LUI source, but I haven’t turned anything useful up and I’m unsure how to proceed with troubleshooting. I’m using a yzlui binary obtained from Woodley’s website. I haven’t noticed any other issues with the LUI installation. Can anyone advise? Thanks!

Found a workaround for this by setting `parameter avm-feature-font #F[Mono 12 roman black]` in my `.luirc`. A sample `.luirc` can be found in the LUI source (revision 29618), at`/lui/trunk/yzluirc.sample`.

Does anyone know where the default values for these parameters are? (By default, I mean under the default LKB behavior: I believe`*lui-autonomy-p*` defaults to true, so I think the defaults are specified somewhere by LUI – just not sure where.)
