Ah, I thought the contrary..

Hmm.. this is strange. "emacs -q/Q" uses Monospace and in Emacs, 'Menu-Set Default Font...' seems to show that Monospace has italic (see the attachment taken with 'emacs -Q')! But really I tried with many fonts (Andale Mono, Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, Courier, DejaVu sans Mono book, FreeMono, Noto...) all listed with the the regular, italic, bold.. versions and with the same negative results.

This does not occur on Windows or macOS.

If you see the image in my previous post, win10pro-footex-test.png, it uses Courier, the same Courier New listed in Emacs Set Default Font menu item but there it is italic not underlined.

Anyway, may you suggest a font to be used with Emacs in GNU/Linux to test this?
