Using the font server from XFree86 4.0.1, some fonts have different foundries depending on whether they are bold, italic, etc. For instance, %xlsfonts|grep verdana -microsoft-verdana-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 -microsoft-verdana-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 -misc-verdana-bold-i-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 -misc-verdana-bold-i-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 -misc-verdana-bold-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 -misc-verdana-bold-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 -misc-verdana-medium-i-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 -misc-verdana-medium-i-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 This causes some websites to not display correctly, since <font face="verdana"><b> looks for verdana, finds -microsoft-verdana-, and then looks for a bold version of -microsoft-verdana- instead of -*-verdana-. (Both Netscape 4.7 and Mozilla M18 exhibit this behavior). Is this a configuration problem on my end, or is it a problem with the fonts themselves? I could go back to xfstt, but it seems like that would be unnecessarily redundant.
