A bug in XFree86 3.1.1 seems to cause it to use proportional fonts
sometimes when it's not supposed to.

Your font path may already take this into account (I don't see the
Type 1 fonts there), but this is how I prevent it from happening to
me:

	if ($hosttype == inbsd) then
		xset -fp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/ >& /dev/null
		xset -fp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 >& /dev/null
		xset -fp /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/ >& /dev/null
		xset -fp /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 >& /dev/null
	endif
