fonts on solaris

I've been trying to get some other people in my group to switch to the 21.4.6 version of XEmacs running on solaris. But for whatever reason, the font that XEmacs uses is hideous. It is very badly aliased. Of course, when I run XEmacs, it works fine. I think I have a partial clue as to what is going on. When I pick a font like '-*-Courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1' and do xlsfonts I get the following list. bash% xlsfonts -fn '-*-Courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1' -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-m-70-iso8859-1 -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--17-120-100-100-m-0-iso8859-1 -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--17-120-100-100-m-0-iso8859-1 -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--17-120-100-100-m-100-iso8859-1 The adobe-courier font looks fine. When I startup xemacs using font pattern I get the first font of the list, and it looks fine. When gary does the same command, he gets bash-2.03$ xlsfonts -fn '-*-Courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1' --courier-medium-r-normal--12-120-72-72-m-0-iso8859-1 --courier-medium-r-normal--12-120-72-72-m-0-iso8859-1 -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--12-120-72-72-m-0-iso8859-1 -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--12-120-72-72-m-0-iso8859-1 -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--12-120-72-72-m-0-iso8859-1 -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--12-120-72-72-m-0-iso8859-1 -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-m-70-iso8859-1 -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-m-70-iso8859-1 -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--17-120-100-100-m-100-iso8859-1 -bitstream-courier-medium-r-normal--12-120-72-72-m-0-iso8859-1 -itc-courier-medium-r-normal--12-120-72-72-m-0-iso8859-1 -itc-courier-medium-r-normal--12-120-72-72-m-0-iso8859-1 Why are most of the fonts listed twice? Why does '--courier-medium-r-normal--12-120-72-72-m-0-iso8859-1' show up? The '17-120-100-100-m-100' looks good on gary's screen but the 72-72 stuff looks terrible. Do you understand what is going on? How do I make xemacs pick a nice pretty font, or get rid of the ugly fonts? -jeff
