Italics in VS10?

Link. December 17, 2007. Comments [2]. Posted in: .NET

Now that VS 2008 is out, think we can put support for italic fonts in the Visual Studio editor for VS 10.0? That way we won't need to depend on Damien Guard having to hack fonts to give us our italics :-).

I spoke to Brad Abrams about this whilst I was at Microsoft and showed him Envy Code R as proof that Visual Studio 2005/2008 render italics just fine.

I also gave him a specially crafted version of Consolas that I had modified to perform the same trick as extra ammunition.

Here's hoping,
