Folks, my fonts got a little skewed when I upgraded from sarge to etch.
Apart from a minor problem with emacs no problems until today when my
application gives the following error

font "*-Courier-Bold-R-Normal-*-100-*" doesn't exist
(default value for "xFont" in widget ".graph")
invoked from within
"blt_graph $graph"
(file "./Linux2_x86/bin/OPTIMIZE/public_domain/blt/graph2d.blt" line
33)
invoked from within
"source ./Linux2_x86/bin/OPTIMIZE/public_domain/blt/graph2d.blt"


Any ideas on when this font should be and how to install it?

Thanks, Michael
