Is it later enough now? I hope you don't have any important text in a
background image on a finished page. I trust from reading the thread
following that you now have Cleartype enabled in the whole OS. Georgia is
indeed one common font with an italic version.
http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/auth/Font/fonts-face-samplesI.html includes all the
more common fonts I've found that have italic versions.

This is what it looks like on Panther:

This is what it looks like on Linux here:

This is what it looks like on XP here:

I found no material difference using IE instead of FF. IE7 has ClearType on
by default, but it is possible to have it off:
