Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2009 16:18:02 -0700

I am trying to select the 'Consolas' font, which is installed on my
system.  Recent Emacs CVS builds -- as of Monday or so this week --
choose the italic version of 'Consolas' when I choose it from the font
panel.  In the font panel, I have chosen the 'Regular' Typeface of the
'Consolas' family.  Nothing I do seems to be able to fix this
regression.

Could you possibly retest this with a recent build?  Some changes were  
made within the past week or so that might have helped.  I don't have  
this "Consolas" font to test, but some similar issues with "Terminus"  
were repaired.

thanks,
Adrian

I also don't have Consolas to test with.

Adrian asked for more info over 6 years ago and there doesn't seem to
have been a response. Should this bug report just be closed?
