revisiting this - perhaps there is a problem, but the report doesn't
show it.  (I suggest it be cancelled).

no, it matches 8x13bold.  Here's what fonts.alias shows:

7x14         -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-130-75-75-c-70-iso8859-1
7x14bold     -misc-fixed-bold-r-normal--14-130-75-75-c-70-iso8859-1
8x13         -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--13-120-75-75-c-80-iso8859-1
8x13bold     -misc-fixed-bold-r-normal--13-120-75-75-c-80-iso8859-1
