hmmm ... i asked someone who's quite the authority explicitly about this,
and he seemed adamant that, if i wanted four variations of a font (in
my case, VeraMono), i had to add four individual font entries to the
configuration file.  that is, one for regular, one for bold, etc.

i'll check back with him and press him a little more closely on this,
since it would be ideal if a single base font could be used here.
but i was sure he told me that's not the way it worked, at least for
docbook.  if i track this down, i'll let you know.

thanks.
