Is is just me, or have others noticed that plot symbol 17, which is
supposed to be a filled circle, is a small square using the
unicode-based drivers (at least qt and cairo which are the ones I have)
but are stroke-filled circles using Hershey drivers (xwin, tk, etc.
including setting plsc->dev_hrshsym = 1 for the qt and cairo drivers)?

This isn't easy to see in Example 06 until you magnify the result (you
can grow the qt window on screen), but easy to see if you code a trivial
example.

In exploring, I have also discovered that the qt driver doesn't treat

plsc->dev_hrshsym = 1

and

plsc->dev_unicode = 0

in the same way. Using the latter in a loop with symbol 18 (filled star)
crashes sample code, whereas the former runs as expected. Sorry, I know
I should send some sample code (and I can send my hacked x01c if someone
wants it) and some output from a debugger, but I'm pressed for time.

Regards,
Steve
