The lines should give the same results if the wanted result is available. This is a combination of bold, italics and underline. Most fonts come with a separate font for bold and italics (and sometimes also underline). If the font you use is such a font and there is no bold&italics&underline one, it is up to the application (or the Xserver) to display a font. This can be forgetting the first code or neglecting the last one. CB -- Try not to let implementation details sneak into design documents.
