Ok, i didn't see that part in the manpage.
However, there is some behaviour which i don't understand: when i start
xterm -fn 7x14, i get an xterm where bold fonts are clearly not
generated by tracing the normal font, the bold font is clearly 7x14bold.
Running xterm -fn 7x14 -fb 7x14bold gives me the exact same result.
Maybe XTerm has some predefined corresponding bold fonts for standard
fonts ?

So, these make no difference.

PS: I personally don't like the 7x14-7x14bold combination. The bold font
is narrower (but bolder), and it looks like 2 different fonts in 1
terminal. I seem to prefer the 'generated' font.
