Hi,

Why is underscore "_" not drawn in txt:Italic= 1?

I have in my languages keywords which contain an underscore

for reserved names e.g. _MyReservedName.

If I use

txt:Italic= 1

in my schema defintion, the underscores of the keywords are simply

not drawn (while the rest of the keyword is in italic), so I only

see

MyReservedName

instead of

_MyReservedName

(This behavior can be seen in MDITextEditor)

This makes the feature "txt:Italic" rather senseless for me.

Any workarounds ?

(The font itself couldn't be the problem, because if I use the same font

in italic for the whole document from the options dialog, it's o.k.).

Maybe it's only a small clipping problem of the text...

But i don't have the time to dig to deep into the source code again...

Add on: It's really most probably a text clipping problem, because

with Courier in font size 18 I can see the underscore in "italic"

syntax style while I cannot see it in size 16. So maybe the clipping

region is simply one pixel to small.

Regards
