Years! Then I hope they fix this problem for the 2.0 release. I 
investigated the matter amongst the reported bugs, and it is such a 
bizarre oddity. The typeface they have choosen as default doesn't allow 
italics! Why on earth did they choose such a typeface? Setting the 
default typeface to something else "fix" the problem, correct. Too bad 
the problem is something else...
