While fiddling with font styles I noticed an inconsistence in the way some
fonts are selected in TeXmacs. Some fonts from the Adobe suite use Courier
and Helvetica as typewriter and sans-serif variants. However, they do not
provide full access to the set of types provided by Courier and Helvetica.

For example Times-typewriter text is displayed using Courrier.
Times-typewriter-italic is displayed using Courrier-italic, but
Times-typewriter-bold is displayed using the default face while
Courier-Bold is displayed using its own face.

This appears structured-typesettingly incorrect to me, so here is a patch
to fix this (and demonstrate a nice feature of the way font selection is
handled in TeXmacs). For more information on how this works, select the
menu item Help/Documentation/Implementation/Fonts in TeXmacs.

This patch must be applied to the file
TeXmacs-$VERSION/progs/fonts/adobe-fonts.scm (in the source tree). The
installed location of this file depends on your ./configure options.
