[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

Some time in the past month, the fonts Emacs uses for italic and
variable pitch have changed.

In ~/.Xdefaults I have:

Emacs.font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-iso8859-1

In ~/.emacs, I have

(face-spec-set 'italic
                   '((t (:slant italic :underline nil :family "helvetica"))))

In a CVS version from 2009-11-03, I get the following fonts for italic
and variable-pitch:

x:-adobe-helvetica-medium-o-normal--14-140-75-75-p-78-iso8859-1
xft:-unknown-DejaVu LGC Sans-normal-normal-normal-*-15-*-*-*-*-0-iso10646-1

In the current trunk, I get:
x:-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-iso8859-1
x:-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-iso8859-1

Is there some way I can get the previous fonts back?

font-show-log output is attached.
