Something in the latest round of font changes has messed up my bold
fonts again.

It appears to be this problem again:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2008-05/msg00017.html

Namely, Emacs is overstriking rather than choosing a true bold font.

C-u x = reports:

default: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-iso8859-1 (#x69) 
bold   : -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-iso8859-1 (#x6E)

The bold font should be:

-misc-fixed-bold-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-iso8859-1 (#x70)

In ~/.Xdefaults I have:

Emacs.font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--15-120-100-100-c-*-iso8859-1


Reverting fixes it:
cvs up -D '20080519' font.h emacs.c  Makefile.in font.c fontset.c xfaces.c
