Research direction

Reproduce the issue in VSCode using italic text and compare the rendered result with the installed upright and italic font styles described in the report. The payload names no source file or test, so first locate the font files or rendering-related entry points; done means italic text renders with the intended true italic design rather than a synthetic slant.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

In VSCode, italic texts are rendered in "false italics", not true italics. Both upright and italics are correctly installed in my OS.
