Hello all,

When emacs is compiled the following way:

1. export CVS_RSH=ssh
   cvs -z3 -d:ext:anoncvs@savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs co emacs
   cvs -z3 -d:ext:anoncvs@savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs up -Pd -r XFT_JHD_BRANCH
2. cd emacs
   ./configure —prefix=/your/fav/place —with-gtk —with-xft
   make bootstrap
   make
   make install
3. /your/fav/place/bin/emacs –font “Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-10″

We appear to lose the boldface treatment when a *.tex file is loaded. I want to confirm that I'm not doing anything wrong here, before I file a bug. But even if I wanted to I would love to make sure whether this is a bug in emacs, gtk or X. Any inputs would be appreciated!
