The fake italics look bad when done on aa fonts. I am thinking of implementing real italics. This would be really easy code-wise, except that I am not sure it's possible to do real italics without decent kerning without the result looking really ugly--currently character boxes cannot overlap. What do people think?
I just ran PalmFontConv on an italic font, and plugged it into Plucker as a default font. A screenshot of the results are at: http://prussfamily.us/italic.png and the font itself (generated for both OS5 and Sony OS4) is at http://prussfamily.us/italicUtopia.prc . My opinion is that it looks significantly better than the standard fake italics, even though some character pairs like ff look quite bad. Alex -- Dr. Alexander R.
