wxMaxima: overlapping print

Question

I'm using wxMaxima 16.12.0 (Maxima 5.39.0) and when I try to print the output, I get overlapping text.

Here's an example (please, ignore the fact the the command couldn't be correct)

1st image

Sometimes happens also with print and printf (inside a block)

2nd image

    printf(true, "Link ~d~%", i),
    print("+------------------------------------------------+"),

3rd image

But outside a block

4th image

This makes all the output completely unreadable, and my program heavy relies on it. I think that in the 3rd image, the problem is that there is the 2 at the denominator is causing the "shrinking" of the output.

How can I solve it? Is it my problem or Maxima's?

OS: Mint 18 sarah  
Kernel: x86_64 Linux 4.4.0-57-generic  
DE: Cinnamon 3.0.7

P.S. I also noticed that sometimes, re-running previous commands could make "readable" the following, but that always happens random

EDIT1: I noticed that the last packages that I installed are

libwxbase3.0-dev 
libwxgtk3.0-dev 
libwxgtk3.0-0v5
libwxbase3.0-0v5

Could it be that there's some kind of conflict?

EDIT2: if I cut the command, the output is "reorganized" in a decent way

I think you'll have to report this to the wxMaxima bug tracker: https://github.com/andrejv/wxmaxima/issues — Robert Dodier, Jan 29 '17 at 19:32
Bounty expired, so I'll report this to the bug tracker and update this question later — igng, Feb 03 '17 at 16:00
Oddly enough, just changing the font settings solved the problem. (now I use `monospace 12`) — igng, Feb 15 '17 at 16:12
I also ran into this problem. @igng, do you want to put changing the font as an answer to help others in the future? — BillThePlatypus, Apr 05 '18 at 20:47

As BillThePlatypus requested, I'll answer so that everyone will have a quick solution.

In my case, just changing the font solved the problem (i.e. no more overlapping prints), so give it a try.
