My point was/is that is defined that way. Whether it is not working for some font backend / font combination is another issue altogether (a bug, to be precise). > And help-argument-name is not distinguishable from the default case in > that setup: If the italicised font cannot be distinguished from the normal one, reverting to uppercase it's the safe thing. > lucidasanstypewriter used to be (maybe still is) the > one of the more popular fixed width fonts. There are lots of fixed width fonts. DejaVu Sans Mono, for example, is increasingly popular (and it works OK with this feature). > Probably with the changes in the font backend something in that code > changed, and not the help-argument-name appears the same, but the > arguments are downcased now, that is what made this old change apparent > now. If you have a font which looks the same in italicised and non-italicised forms, but it is different according to `face-differs-from-default-p', that's not a bug in help argument highlighting; it could creep up in other places. > The face is not a problem, but it is just odd to downcase the text. > I do consider this a bug, but if everyone likes that as a default, then > so be it. It is already clear that it is a feature you don't like, but I find it a bit insulting that you keep referring to it as a "bug". Juanma
