Oh, I paid attention. Messing with the customize hairball is not
something I have time for at present, unless it's actually throwing
errors. And our customize experts all went and got day jobs.
Which font issue is this? In 21.4.4, there seems to be something
really funky going in with the 'bold&italic faces when you do
something to customize the faces. I had to do reset-face to get it to
accept my customizations.
Anyway, the symptom that I was seeing, was that after calling
custom-set-faces on default, bold, bold-italic, and italic (to set
:size, :family, and :background properties), only default face would
be set properly. Any face that subsequently used the :bold t property
would not be customized properly (eg at all). The size and I think
family were completely ignored. Nothing I did would make the bold
font look right, until I did the reset-face.
So the whole face customization issue is very much on my mind.
Volunteers to take a close look at would be very welcome.
