Use a real Arial > Medium Italic instead. ok, I can accept to use "Arial Medium Italic" instead of "Arial Medium" with style "Italic", but for many people, this will bring about confusion: most people are used to word-processors (kword, soffice, MS Word) and there you select "Arial Medium" with style "Italic". So maybe a small feature request: if an italic-font exists for a font where style italic has been choosen, replace the font by it's italic brother And another one: if the result of an operation (like this italic-style on a regular font) is known to cause unexpected pdf output, display a warning on screen (but this one is probably much more difficult to implement) With friendly regards, Franky
