Yes, choosing the default font for Emacs is not a trivial task. Bold
and Italic are just one aspect of that; the other is support for
enough non-ASCII characters to avoid changing fonts too frequently in
multilingual text. Which is why Emacs comes with hard-coded defaults
for the standard fonts. People who customize their fontsets should
understand the issues and choose the default font wisely.

Please show a patch, to make sure we are talking about the same thing.
