Why do you think so? Admittedly,
Emacs.bold.attributeFont: -bitstream-bitstream vera sans
mono-bold-r-*-*-*-100-*-*-*-*-*-*
looks like XLFD, but on my machine I have no X font of this name:
#xlsfonts -fn "*vera*"
xlsfonts: pattern "*vera*" unmatched
and this XLFD also does not work with other X applications.
So my (totally uneducated) guess is that emacs23-xft somehow uses XLFD
syntax also for truetype fonts, but in an slightly inconsistent way
(otherwise, bold & italic xft fonts should work automagically).
Perhaps someone who really understands this can explain it?
PS: Sorry for destroying the threading. I'm still not subscribed to
this list and read it through the archive
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-pretest-bug which doesn't show
message-ids. Perhaps it's time to subscribe...
