weird (but not my bug).  I looked at them with Opera first, downloaded and
looked again with xzgv.  There is a different picture now than when I first
looked.

Anyway - I'm guessing that what you're looking at is #201 or #203.  What I'd
do to get more information would be to recompile with, using --enable-trace
in the configure script.  Then during initialization, the Trace-parent.out
file would tell (usually) the information about the font that was actually
used.

(Running #200 and #202 here, I don't see a difference in the bold fonts).
