/ Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@srce.hr> was heard to say:
| I suspect that it might be the case that Harry's Emacs does not render
| italics correctly, for whatever reason.  In that case, italicizing
| will really look like "removing slashes", which is quite
| disconcerting.

This thread has just caused me to notice that neither bold nor
italic seem to be working on my emacs, though underlining does
(and the font I'm using is available in both variations, I
believe).

This is Emacs 20.3.1 under NT using the face

  (set-default-font "-*-Fixedsys-normal-r-*-*-13-97-*-*-c-*-*-ansi-")

Several debugging forays have lead nowhere. Anyone with experience
debugging faces have a suggestion?

                                        Cheers,
                                          norm
