I do believe TerryP is correct, due to the way X terminals work.. it's possible to emulate a terminal type but at the same time add a few "bonus" features (i.e: TrueType/FreeType fonts..)

This does not allow multiple fonts at a single time, features like bold and italics have special escape codes... xterm and friends simply translate this to an available font set.
