Re: [Bug: 21.5-b26] info-node face: code vs docs conflict

thanks for the report! This is the face of info menu items. If unspecified, it is copied from `bold-italic'. OK, that's wrong. The defface tries to set the face to bold-italic, it doesn't copy the bold-italic face (that may have been true in ancient times). I think we should copy the bold-italic face, but I'm not sure that can be done with defface. Do you agree that obeying the resource for bold-italic is the right way to go here?

We have a kludge to handle it for X fonts, but I don't think it's handled at all in Xft. This may get fixed someday, but at present the whole Xft thing is too much of a mess to be worth dealing with this now IMO (I'm working on ripping out the whole X/Xft system of dealing with fonts and replacing it with fontconfig). Maybe Aidan will come up with something, or somebody. -- School of Systems and Information Engineering http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
