Hmm, Lucida Calligraphy has 'italic' set, which I assume causes
emacs to not use it for non-italic text. However, I wonder why it
is creating a synth-italic entity here -- it shouldn't.
That's right, there's only an italic variant of it. (If I demand
italic, it uses it and does NOT use a synthetic variant.)
If there's only an italic variant, it should be used as regular, and,
in principle, the italic variant should be realized as a synthetic
font. Normally what I've seen done there in print is that if a block
of text is emphasized in italics, the extra-emphasized portions of it
are then regular. So you could create a synthetic variant with slant
to the left (using the existing slant (degree) information).
