Could some kind soul give me an example of stacking faces in elisp using
"propertize" please e.g the system display will use the second face if
the first is not defined?

Ah, very good thanks. In my case since the face name is dynamically
generated it was of the form
(propertize str 'face (list (genFace "base") (genFace "base" y))
'gnus-face t) where genFace uses (intern) to convert a string name to
its internal symbol.
thanks a lot.

Hi Stefan
I have been digging around and cant find a way to set an existing face
:inherit property programmatically. Is it possible or only when I
defined the face to start with?
