Subject: Font weirdness & 3002
Summary: Fonts get messed up with a remote xterm

I recently (today) applied the 3002 update.  However something broke in
the update.  Whenever I open up an remote xterm onto my RS/6000 the font
is all garbled.  What is really irksome is that it's only on certain fonts.
The Rom* fonts work fine as does the fixed font. Local clients seem to not be
affected, however anything coming off of a remote machine (a Sun or a
Sequent both running X11R4) get's hosed fonts.  

The font that gets displayed has what appears to be a half size font in
the top half of the character and garbage in the bottom half of the character.
The fonts that it's doing it for is the courier font specifically.

Almost all of the other fonts work fine, however courier seems to be messed
up, except on the local machine.  This worked before (except for a few
extraneous lines when my remote emacs redrew the courier font.)

Thanks.
