First, when the Japanese font is present:

default: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/7x13-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz
mode-line-inactive: [the same]
tooltip: [the same]

Strangely enough, the font shown as the example for 'default' is not
the font used in the buffer display; again it appears to be the semi-
condensed variant, whereas the font used in the buffer display appears
to be the correct normal variant.  If I do M-x customize-face default
I notice that the value has been set outside customize, and telling it
to set for the current session redisplays the buffer using the semi-
condensed face.

When I run this function on 'bold' I get nil.  Finding a face that
looks like what I want and see in the buffer display, the function
reports the value as /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/7x13.pcf.gz - but
the font for the 'bold-italic' face which also looks correct (there is
no italic slant variant for the -misc-fixed font I'm using) is
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/8x13B-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz

========================================

Without the Japanese font in the font path, I get these:

default: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/7x13.pcf.gz
bold: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/8x13B-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz

It seems as if these are the fonts that I want for normal and bold,
respectively.  It seems as if the default and bold faces are being
chosen incorrectly while the Japanese font is present.
