...I seem to recall that while \fP will work in simple

the sequence ‘‘\fB...\fR...\fI...\fP...\fP’’
will result in italics afterward instead of bold. That's because the
font changes are not a true stack, just a single "previous" font.
IIUC, this is the reason that LaTeX (an entirely different typesetting
system, of course) now discourages the use of the old commands \it and
\bf, in favor of \textit, textbf etc.
