Hello David,
First, thanks for your answer...

I've tried all the above possibilities, but that had no visible
impact on my font problem.
See my Emacs window looked like when started from Gnome:

and, now, from StumpWM (in all above cases):
http://www.mygooglest.com/sva/Consolas-in-Emacs-23-from-StumpWM.png
It is even unreadable sometimes (look at the "Happy New Year"
sentence).
What's weird is that:
o characters look somehow bolder than before, but less
readable because some sort of stretch;
o characters that are really in bold look as perfect under
StumpWM as they were under Gnome: those seem unchanged.

Yes, I do have an LCD screen (using a laptop).

I removed that line.
Thanks for your tips.
Now that you clearly see what I tried to explain with words,
would you have an explanation of this feature?
Best regards, and Happy New Year already,
Seb
