faces for keywords

[Dmitri Minaev]

When I followed the examples given in the manual for setting
org-todo-keyword-faces, I could change the font color but not its
weight.  I had to defface a new face and use it in the
org-todo-keyword-faces to get the bold font.

What I did first was:
(setq org-todo-keyword-faces
      '(("WAITING"  . (:foreground "blue" :weight bold :bold t))))

The same face definition syntax used with defface worked well:
(defface org-waiting-face '((t (:foreground "blue" :weight bold :bold
t))) "Face for WAITING todo items.")
(setq org-todo-keyword-faces
      '(("WAITING"  . org-waiting-face)))

GNU Emacs 23.0.0.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)

What did I do wrong?

I don't know, do not understand faces well enough in Emacs.

Nothing.  I tested this and noticed that the problem happened for the
:weight and :bold property, not for the :foreground property.  Which
confirms this is a problem with Emacs.

Thanks. Perhaps, the org-mode manual should be updated to reflect the
sad reality, then...
