Thank you so *very* much for that link. That guy didn't spell it out,
but he got me close enough.
It turns out that UTF-8 was using Courier for the monospace font.
Apparently, each selection of "Font for:" can be set separately. I
thought that the "Fonts for:" was a setting of its own, but is
actually a sort of "tab" for each item within it's pop-up list. It
remembers and keeps the settings of each one, separately. Changing
the monospace font of "Other Languages" to "monospace" took care of it.
Then I unchecked all checkboxes in the dialog.
All associated problems seem to be solved.
Thanks to all who helped me with this.
Having just now restarted tBird, it is confirmed to be fixed. UTF-8
encodes properly, but now displays with a decent font, the best of both
worlds.

winning everything else. If they could succeed in halting the increase
in the quantity of money, it would be because they could halt the
chronic deficits that force this increase. If they could halt these
chronic deficits, it would be because they had halted the rapid increase
in welfare spending and all the socialistic schemes that are dependent
on welfare spending. If they could halt the constant increase in
spending, they could halt the constant increase in government power.
