Is there a way to define a new face that's exactly like some other
face, except for certain changes? For example, I'd like to build a
face that's exactly font-lock-variable-name-face, except that it's
always italic.
TIA,

(copy-face 'font-lock-variable-name-face 'my-new-face)
(set-face-attribute 'my-new-face nil :italic t)

I think that one should get by without copying, using something like
(defface my-new-face ((:default :inherit font-lock-variable-name-face
:italic t)))
