Where are the italics?

is there a way to see the italics in the the composed document itself?
When I highlight text and italicize it I see no difference. Would like to though.

What font are you using? Some fonts don’t support italics, and so you don’t get any even if you try to apply them.

I am having the same problem! This is RIDICULOUS.

Well, it’s not ridiculous if the font you are using doesn’t support italics or bold. This is just the way fonts work across OS X - try creating some text in Lucida Grande in TextEdit and then italicising it - you get a beep because Lucida Grande doesn’t support italics. As I said in my reply to the thread you started, just switch to using a font that supports bold and italics and you should be good, but if you still have problems, let us know.

Thanks,

I was in arial unicode or something like that. Switched to Times New Roman and can see the italics.

Appreciate the help.
