Re: linum and AUCTeX: line number face

[Stephan Hennig]

[This question has formerly been sent to gnu.emacs.help.  Resending now
to gmane.emacs.devel (with test case).]

Hi,

when linum-mode is activated in LaTeX-mode, line numbers are not set in
uniform face, but it seems their face is inherited from the current
line's face, at least with regard to font weight.

That is, if a line starts with copy printed in bold face the line number
is printed in bold face, too.  I find this very distracting.

Steps to reproduce:
1. File .emacs contains these lines:

(progn (cd "~/elisp") (normal-top-level-add-subdirs-to-load-path))
(require 'linum)

2. Start Emacs by typing 'emacs'.

3. C-x C-f test.tex
(On my installation this switches to LaTeX-mode.)

4. Type 'text RET \bfseries text RET'.

5. M-x linum-mode


Symptoms:
Both line numbers have different font weight.


Expected behaviour:
Both line numbers are printed in medium weight.  Is there any way to
configure linum to do what I want?

Best regards,
Stephan Hennig
