Hi,
I am verry verry sorry that I blamed xemacs. Although customize is
still strange my bold-italic faces now look like I expect them to. I
tracked down the problem to a misconfigured/brocken x-setup that I
fixed by updating my X11 to the latest version in debian/unstable.
Although italics look a little strange (but they look like what one
can expect from X11 without ttf and AA), the bold-italic face is now
customizeable with customize. This was my fault.
Thanks Steve for your time and your tips and your insightfull
explanations. Again sorry for the annoyance.
I swear that the next time when I'm running into troubles, I will
check my local setup first.
But I will try to understand customize and what you meant with the
specifier-approach for customized faces :-)
Yours
Marcus
