This looks like you are trying to load a 9-point bold Helvetica font
having HP-Roman8 character-set encoding.

There is no bitmap font matching this, so what you are likely getting is
a font scaled by the HP-UX font-server.

You can use the utility "fstobdf" to save the resulting output from the
font-server to a BDF font file:

        fstobdf -s hpserver:7000 \
                -fn "-*-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-*-90-*-*-p-*-hp-roman8"
