Sorry Tom, the original report was perhaps unclear--ignore the 7x*14*bold fonts, the problem is matching 7x*13*bold. Here's what matches the pattern generated by bold_font_name() on my system when 8x13 is given: $ xlsfonts -fn '-misc-fixed-bold-r-normal--13-120-75-75-c-*-iso8859-1' -misc-fixed-bold-r-normal--13-120-75-75-c-0-iso8859-1 -misc-fixed-bold-r-normal--13-120-75-75-c-0-iso8859-1 -misc-fixed-bold-r-normal--13-120-75-75-c-70-iso8859-1 -misc-fixed-bold-r-normal--13-120-75-75-c-80-iso8859-1 I'm not sure what the first two matches are (derived scalable fonts?) although the two following entries match 7x13bold (average width 70) and 8x13bold (80). The effect is as described, specifying only "-fn 8x13" is equivalent to "-fn 8x13 -fb 7x13bold". Some small screen captures attached, the first showing the initial reversed bold font, the second after an expose event. --bod
