Standard faces not working with font-lock-keywords

[Ralf Angeli]

Executing the following example code

(with-temp-buffer
  (insert "foo")
  (setq font-lock-keywords '(("foo" . bold)))
  (font-lock-fontify-keywords-region (point-min) (point-max)))

will result in an error that the variable `bold' is void.  If you use,
for example, `font-lock-comment-face' instead of `bold' it is working.

Shouldn't the standard faces be used in `font-lock-keywords' or is
this a bug?  I am asking because in AUCTeX you can set up your own
lists for keyword fontification and associate faces with them.  And
this fails if the user tries to use one of the standard faces.
