(info "(elisp) Face Attributes")
For compatibility with Emacs 20, you can also specify values for two
"fake" face attributes: `:bold' and `:italic'. Their values must be
either `t' or `nil'; a value of `unspecified' is not allowed. Setting
`:bold' to `t' is equivalent to setting the `:weight' attribute to
`bold', and setting it to `nil' is equivalent to setting `:weight' to
`normal'. Setting `:italic' to `t' is equivalent to setting the
`:slant' attribute to `italic', and setting it to `nil' is equivalent
to setting `:slant' to `normal'.
