I don't think so. I did a test:
stop xfs,
run an xterm
select -*-courier-bold-r-*-*-*-960-*-*-m-*-*-*
and then use ctrl-right_click to select the font in the clipboard.

That worked.

Also, with xfs stopped, I ran

$ fc-match -- '-*-courier-bold-r-*-*-*-960-*-*-m-*-*-*'
DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book"
$ locate DejaVuSans.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf
$ rpm -qf /usr/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf
dejavu-sans-fonts-2.29-2.fc11.noarch
