For the time being I do not recommend to be as "heroic" as I was. The
longer I work with my Stata 10 installation, the more problems I get
with xstata. It seems very likely that this is due to my manipulation
with libraries. I haven't the Stata CD with me right now, but I will
install the statically-linked version tomorrow, and report back.

No point to contact tech-support because of that. Changing the font is
good enough for me.
