I rebuilt Emacs from CVS yesterday after a week or so of not
rebuilding it. I had to do a 'make bootstrap' to get it to build.
Now today, when I started up half the faces are very big.
Running "emacs -Q" and then evaluating (set-default-font (format
"-xos4-terminus-medium-r-normal--%d-*-72-72-c-160-iso8859-1" 16))
makes it happen without any further customization.
http://dooglus.rincevent.net/random/superwidefont.png shows how M-x
list-faces-display RET displays today.
I'm using Ubuntu 7.10, and that font is from the 'xfonts-terminus' package.
It seems that any face with 'bold' set shows up with regular width,
and those without 'bold' set show up very wide.
Chris.

I found some old builds and tested to find out when the bug was
introduced. The most recent good build I have is from 19th Feb. And
the oldest bad build is from 28th Feb. I've tried configuring with
and without specifying --enable-font-backend but it doesn't change
this behaviour.
I had a very similar problem on 5th Feb, but adding
--enable-font-backend to the configure line fixed it then. I've left
that in the configure line since, but now even that's not enough.
Here are the details of my 5 most recent builds. The top 2 are 'OK'.
The last 3 are 'bad' (with wide fonts).

Can you do a describe-face on the "wide font" areas in Emacs? I just
reported something similar, and the cause seems to be that the face font
is "nil" instead of "unspecified."

I just experimented with a lot of different fonts, and only the
'terminus' fonts (from the ubuntu "xfonts-terminus" package) seem to
have this issue. So it's possible there's something wrong with the
fonts, rather than with Emacs itself.
