Hi Jeff,

Your question inspired me to update my .emacs to support italic, bold, and
bold-italic as well as a regular font (see complete excerpt below). Note
that I have tested this setup only on GNU Emacs 20.5.1 for Windows/NT. I do
not guarantee that it works for other versions. On my system I have
customized font-lock to italicize comments in source code files. I did this
by executing

M-x customize-group font-lock-highlighting-faces

and then editing and saving the resulting customization buffer.
