I see your point. The problem is that noun and emph are not yet transformed to the char styles ui. But they will (I think there's already a noun charstyle in 1.5, but it's hidden somewhere). So let's say emph and noun have an confusing appearance that might be one cause for the whole irritation. However, the fact that they do not (yet) look like LyX char styles should not make us think that they are font attributes (like bold, italic etc.). Putting a bold button there would just raise the confusion. Jürgen
