Is anyone observing this too: The fonts in the buttons and drop down menu
choices of xman and also the font you get when you type CONTROL+MIDDLEBUTTON
or CONTROL+LEFTBUTTON in an xterm are somewhat ugly. I.e. the horizontal
line of a lower case 'e' is so thin that it does not reach a 1 pixel width.

This applies also to other characters.

How come?
