RE: problems with face-spec-reset-face and set-face-attribute

[Drew Adams]

    Thanks for the recipe.

Thanks for looking into this.
    
    This seems to be a bug in internal-set-lisp-face-attribute that is
    specific to the :inherit attribute.  When I try your recipe with other
    attributes, like :foreground or :slant, everything works as expected.
    (A good face to try this is `fringe': when it changes, you see the
    effect immediately.)

Right; I believe it's only :inherit that's a problem.

    Likewise: try with something other than :inherit, it works as
    advertised.

Yes.
    
    I'll look into the problem with :inherit when I have time, unless
    someone beats me to it.

Thanks. - Drew
