But in some cases it will happily skew the roman version, with nasty results. True, for many typefaces, Word will automatically apply the proper italic fonts (if you have them installed). The best way to stay out of trouble is to avoid using the little I icon in Word. Au to the contrary! (as they say in French). And the problem is that people do this all the time and they think it looks good. And Microsoft Word can destroy it all in a click of the mouse. A single typeface is the result of thousands of hours of work in the studio of a serious typographer. It is not a casual thing to design an italic typeface. A typographic designer will spend a year working on the Roman, then spend an another year working on the Italic variant of an alphabet.
