I like to keep control, which is why I don't use KMail, Thunderbird, Apple Mail etc.

Default install of Xorg does not include xlsfonts (or xdm), but I quickly built wlsfonts from ports.

I got a lot of stuff with iso10646-1, but then why does uxterm/mutt not use one of these fonts?

How do I force an xterm application to use a specific font?
