May I ask a rhetorical question: What's wrong with
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(add-hook 'apropos-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(face-remap-set-base 'italic '(:reverse-video t))))
#+end_src
It's rhetorical because you already made it clear that a new load of
defface's or defcustom's would be the proper way to handle the issue.
My question is also rhetorical and hypocritical because I really just
wanted to seize on the opportunity to say that some people don't
actually enjoy wading through an ever growing plethora of options and
faces.
On the other hand, they revel in general mechanisms like face-remap-*.
YMMV ;-)
