          ^^^^^^^^----------  this is a big  No! No!

\fontname  is actually the command for a TeX primitive.
If you make this definition, then you'll make the TeX
command inaccessible...

     ... which then kills this  ssub

    ... and this one ...

    ... and this one.

That probably explains why \it and \sl  don't work for you.
Also  \textsc  should fail.

Since TeX is case-sensitive, try using  \FontName  instead,
for the name of your own macro.



Hope this helps,
