Purpose

Allow the GDB window in xterm to work in WSL with the correct (default) fonts. This is a workaround for WSL2 missing the default fonts when you just install xterm.

Details

* WSL is missing the default fonts
* Without this, the xterm font size is unusably small on high DPI
  displays
* xfonts-base is already installed on standard ubuntu versions
