actually, reading xterm faq says this:
The bold font is ugly
Xterm lets you directly specify one bold font, which is assumed to
correspond to the default font. Older versions of xterm make a fake
bold font for the other choices via the fonts menu by drawing the
characters offset by one pixel. I modified xterm to ask the font server
for a bold font that corresponds to each font (other than the default
one). Usually that works well. However, sometimes the font server gives
a poor match. Xterm checks for differences in the alignment and size,
but the font server may give incorrect information about the font size.
The scaled bitmap font feature gives poor results for the smaller
fonts. In your X server configuration file, that can be fixed by
disabling the feature, e.g., by appending ":unscaled" to the path:
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/:unscaled"
