Re: Italic-Fonts does not change

Shooting in the dark here: M-x set-face-font <RETURN> italic <RETURN> -adobe-courier-bold-i-normal--14-135-75-75-m-0-iso8859-1"" <RETURN> set-face-font should not have a problem setting this, but it is true that Custom probably would not be able to in any event, because it treats the 4 default faces (default, italic, bold, bold-italic) specially. It would probably refuse to give you bold-italic for the italic font. after switching to tex-mode (which activates AUC-TeX). Are you sure AUC-TeX uses the 'italic face? Just because the font you see is italic doesn't mean the face is 'italic. The face could be 'tex-emph or something like that. As other posters suggested, try an oblique face or the try-oblique-before-italic-fonts variable. However, the latter will not affect set-face-font which is a very low-level utility.
