Hello all,
 
 When emacs is compiled the following way:
  
   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
   cd emacs
 ./configure —prefix=/your/fav/place —with-gtk —with-xft
 make bootstrap
make
 make install
   /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!

The Xft branch is experimental and this is one of the known problems
with the code as it stands now.  Please don't report such bugs.

The XFT branch is just a proof of concept, but for full functionality it needs 
much more work and probably an integration with the Unicode-branch.  As it is 
not going to be part of the next Emacs release, no work is being done until 
after the next Emacs release.

Thanks,
