That's right. These faces are there to optionally highlight some of
the bindings. If a font does not support underlining or bold face, I'm
guessing these faces would just ignore that property. Is that right?
If so, these faces will just fall back to the unhighlighted version.

I'm wondering if there is a recommended way to handle the circumstance
where you want to highlight an entry with say bold face and have a
fallback in place in case bold is not available. I suppose we could
just pick a different fallback color.
