emacs chooses wrong bold font, again

[Glenn Morris]

My emacs is using the wrong bold font, again.

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2008-05/msg01204.html

C-u x = reports:

default: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-130-75-75-c-70-iso8859-1
bold   : -misc-fixed-bold-r-normal--14-101-100-100-c-90-iso8859-1


The bold font should be (from Emacs 22):

-Misc-Fixed-Bold-R-Normal--14-130-75-75-C-70-ISO8859-1


In ~/.Xdefaults I have:

Emacs.font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-14-*-100-100-*-*-iso8859-1


I have tried changing this to:

Emacs.font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-14-130-75-75-*-*-iso8859-1

but it does not help.


Here is the M-x font-show-log output:
