-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-koi8-r

note that I do have the bold font which corresponds to the -fn argument that I
pass to xterm.

why are some fonts listed several times?

I am having an identical problem with Emacs - it does not show bold cyrillic
fonts either.

Have you upgraded any packages since this bug was discovered via up2date and/or 
rawhide?  If so, does the problem still exist?  Either case, what package 
versions are you running and which phoebe are you testing this on?

Comment 2 Sam Steingold 2003-02-11 15:08:47 UTC
i just ran up2date; redhat-linux-beta-i386-phoebe-8.0.93; s
ame packages, the problem persists.
# rpm -qa | fgrep -i koi8
fonts-KOI8-R-100dpi-1.0-4
fonts-KOI8-R-1.0-4
fonts-KOI8-R-75dpi-1.0-4
mplayer-font-koi8r-1.0-1
when I try to use up2date on rawhide, I get an error that I am not entitled to
that channel (or something like that).

Red Hat apologizes that these issues have not been resolved yet. We do want to
make sure that no important bugs slip through the cracks.

Red Hat Linux 7.3 and Red Hat Linux 9 are no longer supported by Red Hat, Inc.
They are maintained by the Fedora Legacy project (http://www.fedoralegacy.org/)
for security updates only. If this is a security issue, please reassign to the
'Fedora Legacy' product in bugzilla. Please note that Legacy security update
support for these products will stop on December 31st, 2006.

If this is not a security issue, please check if this issue is still present
in a current Fedora Core release. If so, please change the product and version
to match, and check the box indicating that the requested information has been
provided.

If you are currently still running Red Hat Linux 7.3 or 9, please note that
Fedora Legacy security update support for these products will stop on December
31st, 2006. You are strongly advised to upgrade to a current Fedora Core release
or Red Hat Enterprise Linux or comparable. Some information on which option may

Any bug still open against Red Hat Linux 7.3 or 9 at the end of 2006 will be
closed 'CANTFIX'. Again, if this bug still exists in a current release, or is a
security issue, please change the product as necessary. We thank you for your
help, and apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point.
