Dear emacs developers,

Bug: 

Emacs shows italic faces as underlined in terminal emulators
which support italic fonts ...

Feature request: 

... but should use italic instead.

Recipe to reproduce the bug: 

start a terminal emulator which supports italic fonts (e.g.
rxvt-unicode):

- rxvt-unicode -fn "xft:courier new"

- echo -e '\e[3mitalics\e[m'

--> enjoy italic face

- emacs-snapshot -Q -nw ~/italics.org #org-mode supports italics

- type "/italics/ *bold* _underlined_"

--> "italics" and "underlined" are underlined instead of italics
    resp. underlined.
     
Thanks for considering this feature request and emacs in general, Gregor

implies it will work if you set up the terminfo/termcap somehow (I don't
know how).

But probably also tty_supports_face_attributes_p should learn that some
ttys can do "real" italics.

Thanks for mentioning this workaround, but I all ready googled
for information about that and after several failed attempts
decided that all the terminfo/-cap thing is black magic...

That's why I wished this as a feature which works out of the box.


Ciao, Gregor
