I can't see the screenshot, because w.wiki has drunk the "ram HTTPS
down everyone's throat" koolaid.  But it seems to me this is more
likely to be a terminal emulator issue than a lynx issue.

Yes, this sounds like an infrastructure issue, something wrong with
font caching and/or generation in the terminal emulator and/or
underlying display system.  (I don't see any statement I recognize as
being a description of the terminal emulator or underlying font
infrastructure, though I do see some names I don't recognize, so that
could be me.  Certainly the X I know doesn't keep anything in ~/.cache,
so either this isn't X or it's doing client-side rendering or some such
"modern" insanity.)
