Just a bit of brainstorming..

We could print a warning about the fonts, but those are typically
annoying.

We could modify w3m to optionally clear the screen before scrolling.

We could create a wrapper like `xw3m' that started xterm with a
`compatible' font running w3m (there are even a couple ways to be
clever with X resources to allow customization).

That's all that comes to mind immediately.  Any other suggestions?
Any preferences from amongst these options?
