I have to admit little knowledge of X's font handling, so I have no idea what would be causing this problem. In programs using whatever X's default font rendering is, Arial's bold style is instead rendered in italics. For example, Mozilla (non-xft) render's the headline on CNN.com's front page in italics. GIMP shows the same behavior when I tell it to use Arial in bold. An Xft-enabled build of Mozilla works fine, though. I have not noticed any other font problems. Any suggestions?
