Look at the text styles metabug. Some of these don't relate to font
handling, but some do. One example has to do with \textit{\textsc{}}
type constructs, and the difference between that and \textsc{\textit{}}.
There have also been similar problems involving mixing things like
\large and \textit.
Yes, JMarc pointed these two out to me earlier in one of these threads.
I think that both would be solved by using ranges and actually utilizing
full information about the ranges (i.e., the actual extents of the
ranges, thus discovering which range is the outer one), which currently
is not being done. Currently, we use only local information when
generating latex from font attributes.
