I am thinking of implementing optional italic fonts, because the current
italicization method looks ugly with aa fonts.
Question: Is the following legal for a Plucker doc (where the things in
<> are the codes from paragraph.h):
<Italic><Style x>Text1<Style y>Text2<EndItalic>?
In other words, can one change style within an italic section?
If so, then I think there is a very minor bug in paragraph.c. The
italicization code shifts the upper half of the drawn text over based on
the current font height. In the above example, it would thus italicize
Text1 on the basis of the height data for Text2. Simple
work-around: Whenever a <Style> code is found within italics, call the
function to end italics, set the style, and call the function to restart
italics.
I must say that I've never seen a webpage where this comes up.
