Anyone with experience > debugging faces have a suggestion? I had the same behavior after I upgraded emacs from 20.2.x to 20.3.x. I used to set fontset in X resource file. Though I know 9x15 has bold, but emacs did not show me that. The reason I just found is that in `create-fontset-from-x-resource' of `fontset.el' there is such a call: (create-fontset-from-fontset-spec fontset-spec nil 'noerror) ^^^ (see info) so that no other styles is created for user specified fontsets. Now I create my fontsets in .emacs my self, then it's all right, in fact I'd prefer to do that in the elisp way. But I don't know what one should do on NT. Cheers, Rui
