- rbanffy 8y agoI believe it's only supported if the font has a defined italic version, and it's unable to generate italic from a regular face.
- tambourine_man 8y agoWhich is a major no-no anyway, typographically speaking.
- rbanffy 8y agoWe are talking about terminals. Italics used to be drawn by skewing the pixel clock.
- tambourine_man 8y agoSure but we have bitmap displays now. There’s no reason our tools can’t take advantage and adapt to the times.
- rbanffy 8y agoTrue, but generating italics when they are not explicitly defined is a perfectly reasonable thing to do.
