Dear Bug Team!
the "info-node" face is defined in info.el, like this
(defface info-node '((t (:bold t :italic t)))
"Face used for node links in info."
:group 'info-faces)
while info [27.11.4 Face Resources] tells me
,----
|
| These are the names of the predefined faces:
| [...]
| `info-node'
| This is the face of info menu items. If unspecified, it is copied
| from `bold-italic'.
`----
in my case, the bold-italic face is explicitly defined via xresources,
and it's visually different from both bold and italic, while the
info-node face, defined in info.el, is visually identical to the
italic face
as to WHY xemacs isn't able to deduce a bold italic face from it's
default face, i can only tell you that my specification for the
default face is
,----
| XEmacs.default.attributeFont: mono:size=10
`----
and that i get
,----
| % fc-match mono:style=Bold\ Oblique
| Bitstream-Vera-Sans-Mono-Bold-Oblique.ttf: "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono"
"Bold Oblique"
| %
`----
if i try to verify the presence of an appropriate face on my system
ciao,
gb

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?

Oblique != Italic. 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.

i do. obeying the resource for bold-italic is also the way to
circumvent font problems that's documented in the sample.Xresources
