Prediction: custom
faces will break bigtime when Emacs introduces its WYSIWYG redisplay,
and people start trying to do complex things with them.
I suspect RMS will not release the new redisplay engine, before it
works with custom.
Um, can you Custom-ize Mule fonts in Emacs 20.3?
You cannot customize a font. You can customize a face, which sadly is
something different.
Let's see... If I customize `font-lock-string-face' with Emacs 20.3
while looking at `tex-jp.el' which is full of Japanese strings, it
will ignore the `italic' and `bold' face attributes, while obeying the
`underline', `inverse video', `foreground' and `background'
attributes. The Japanese text will continue to be Japanese.
The English strings will also obey the `bold' face attribute, while
ignoring the `italic' face attribute. The default font I use doesn't
have italic.
That makes sense to me.
