You alias a font.  aka 'google is your friend'

a simple search on 'X fontalias' brings up

http://how-to.wikia.com/wiki/How_to_create_aliases_for_fonts_in_X_Windows
http://osr507doc.sco.com/en/GECG/X_Font_ProcFnAlias.html

http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/nix/x/fonts/xf04-FontAlias/single/
  (the first section is useful, but most of the remainder are other
  problems)
