Your fonts.alias is the same as the one on my build 99 and a build 72 box. Both boxes also look to have the same helvetica bold fonts: /usr/openwin/bin/xlsfonts | grep 120 | grep type-helv | grep bold -linotype-helvetica-bold-o-narrow-sans-12-120-72-72-p-55-iso8859-1 -linotype-helvetica-bold-o-normal-sans-12-120-72-72-p-67-iso8859-1 -linotype-helvetica-bold-r-narrow-sans-12-120-72-72-p-55-iso8859-1 -linotype-helvetica-bold-r-normal-sans-12-120-72-72-p-67-iso8859-1 Odd.
