I found what is wrong with the current font-backend code.
% xlsfonts -fn -misc-fixed-*-*-*--20-200-75-75-c-100-iso10646-1
lists these fonts.
-misc-fixed-bold-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-iso10646-1
-misc-fixed-bold-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-iso10646-1
-misc-fixed-bold-r-semicondensed--20-200-75-75-c-100-iso10646-1
-misc-fixed-medium-o-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-iso10646-1
-misc-fixed-medium-o-semicondensed--20-200-75-75-c-100-iso10646-1
-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-iso10646-1
-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-iso10646-1
-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-iso10646-1
-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-iso10646-1
-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--20-200-75-75-c-100-iso10646-1
but the result of
% xlsfonts -fn -misc-fixed-*-*-*--*-*-*-*-c-*-iso10646-1
doesn't contain this font:
-misc-fixed-bold-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-iso10646-1
I'm now working on handling such a case correctly.
By the way, if you specify this font (i.e. a font whose bold
versoin also exists without auto-scaling):
-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--18-120-100-100-c-90-iso10646-1
Emacs can find the correct bold version (at least in my
environment).
