Hey there!
I don't manage to display italics in emacs with the Inconsolata font. I
searched the web and found some bug reports, but they date back to 2009.
I remember when using Windows some years ago everything worked out of
the box -- Inconsolata does have oblique/italic glyphs, doesn't it?
I encountered something odd: When I do S-<Mouse 1> -> `Change buffer
font' the dialogue shows me Inconsolata Medium (Regular), Italics, Bold
and Bold-Italics. But selecting `Regular' will make the whole buffer
font bold, selecting `Italics' will change back to the regular font
face; the other two options result both in a bold face.
My settings:
.Xresources:
Emacs.FontBackend: xft
Emacs.font: Inconsolata:pixelsize=15:slant=italic
.emacs
(custom-set-faces
;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
'(italic ((t (:slant italic)))))
(Emacs 24.3.1 on Arch Linux.)
However, I do get italics in emacs when changing the .Xresources to
Emacs.font: DejaVu Sans Mono
Any hints greatly appreciated!
Regards

No, I don't think Inconsolata has italics -- most monospace fonts don't
(though apparently DejaVu does!). I'm also using the Arch package as
well, and I've noticed Inconsolata doesn't provide beyond basic ascii.

Lucida Sans Typewriter had in older Java versions all four variants.
