Overzealous Font Bolding?

	I'm trying to use a very tiny bitmapped font in rxvt-unicode
(actually, rxvt-unicode-lite, as shipped in Debian unstable).  However, when
rxvt-unicode renders the font in boldface, the result is nigh illegible.

	The font is called 'lime', and is very tiny indeed.  Here's what it
looks like in 'xterm' ('aterm' renders it the same way):

	And here's what it looks like in 'rxvt-unicode':

	Is there a config setting in rxvt-unicode that will get me closer to
the 'xterm' style of rendering?  Or will I need to hack the source?  (Or
switch to 'aterm'?)

	My thanks in advance for any suggestions.
