 Does this still work for you in 21.0.66 and later?  It stopped
working
 for me and I haven't had a chance to look into why.   
Ugh, you're right.

I have my X resources set correctly, and without them, I get an italic
font which is not only ugly, but a slightly different size from my
regular.

I think that the problem is that the italic font is built before
.emacs is read.

bold-italic is even worse off, since `x-make-font-bold-italic' doesn't 
honor *try-oblique-before-italic-fonts* (yet).

...
 I can always use X resources for this, but I've been trying to
move
 away from that and setting everything in lisp. 
I agree.
