The xterm documentation states that if a bold font is not provided then
overstriking will be used. This is not true. The problem is that a default
bold font is "provided" by the C code. In order to get overstruck bold, you
have to "un-provide" this font by putting something like
xterm*boldFont:
in your X resources. This patch fixes the problem:
