I've hit a new glitch with an old history. Per the documentation, and various old threads, the following have the desired effect, in a case where no Italic style is available: XEmacs*fcFontName: DejaVu Sans Mono:antialias=true XEmacs.modeline.attributeFont: DejaVu Sans:antialias=true XEmacs.default.attributeFont: DejaVu Sans Mono:antialias=true XEmacs.bold-italic.attributeFont: DejaVu Sans Mono:style=Bold Oblique:antialias=true But it doesn't have the desired effect on info-node, which is defined as follows in info.el: (defface info-node '((t (:bold t :italic t))) "Face used for node links in info." :group 'info-faces) Adding XEmacs.info-node.attributeFont: DejaVu Sans Mono:style=Bold Oblique:antialias=true doesn't work either. I _think_ the reason for this is that the above definition tries and fails in an attempt to turn DejaVu Sans Mono:style=Bold Oblique:antialias=true into a bold-italic version, but fails -- the net result is a slanted DV Sans Mono. Adding the following to info.el after the above defface fixes this, but is it the correct fix across-the-board (i.e. for -nw, for Windows, for people who don't nave a bold-italic ? (copy-face 'bold-italic 'info-node) Some relevant discussion from Stephen Turnbull in this old thread: http://xemacs-beta.xemacs.narkive.com/dyuOtyWo/bug-21-5-b26-info-node-fac... ht -- Henry S.
