Comment 15 for bug 791076

@Paul, thanks for the explanation. I'm sure I can adjust to the sizing changes, especially since Unity already breaks geometry hints, so I have to move windows around manually anyway :). It *was* great to see that vertical line counts weren't sacrificed, so I think it's a pretty good trade-off.

As for this bug, are you saying that the "sudden" inclusion of a proper bold-italic font has tickled a lurking bug in Emacs?
