21.5.28: No bold-italic with xft

The xft antialiased fonts seem to work well except for one thing: I cannot get any bold-italic text. If I remember correctly, the info pages have the various item names in bold-italics when running with bitmapped fonts. With xft they are only in italics. This is of course no big deal, but if I don't complain now I suppose I have no right to complain later :-) I enclose the font information to stderr, and also the installation info. My system is a Fedora-6, fully updated. As you can see it uses DejaVu as standard monospaced font. I don't know if this is significant. The system font selector shows a bold italic variant that looks OK to me.
