Bug Description

This happens in sefveral machines. All scalable fonts (the ones in
xfonts-scalable and gsfonts-x11) seem to only be provided in 0 and 17 pixel size.
You can test this against bitstream courier 10 pitch, for instance.

I detected the bug when xfig stopped showing fonts properly.

For the test I used the xfontsel program an tried to select an scalable font
(any font in xfonts-scalable or gsfonts-x11 is valid).
For example, if you select:
fndry: bitstream
fmly: courier 10 pitch
when you list all available pixel sizes (pxlsz) only the entries "0" and "17"
are available. IF I try this same test on a hoary machine I see all sizes available.

Hope this helps.
