In GNU Emacs 19.25.93.1 (sparc-sun-sunos4.1.3, X toolkit) of Thu Aug 11 1994 on sun1

A collegue just pointed out to me that when you type a pair of
mismatched brackets like this:  ( ] paren doesn't highlight them in
purple any more to indicate the mismatch.

This used to work in 19.25 (I think), but doesn't work in 19.25.93.  I
didn't get the patch for 19.25.94 yet, so I don't know if it's still
broken.

Around the same time, bold and italics stopped working on the Suns
here too.  I'm running X11R5 on a Sun.  When I run list-faces-display
after selecting 9x15 from the font menu (Ctrl mouse 3), 'bold' is in
bold, as it should be, but 'italic' isn't in italic, and bold-italic
isn't bold or italic.  Apparently this used to work in a previous
version, too.

Chris.
