Some terminals (the ones I know about right now are: rxvt-unicode and vte (gnome-terminal etc.)) support italic text. To test whether your terminal supports it, try this command: echo $'Normal \e[3mItalic\e[0m' I've created proof of concept patches for SLang and MC - if you patch both, and compile mc against the patched slang, you'll get italic support in your skins. I've talked to ncurses's author, he said he'll consider adding support. I'm just about to contact slang's developers. In order for mc to add proper support, the following would be required: - at least one of ncurses and slang (but ideally both) providing mainstream support - configure-time autodetect whether the required constants are defined Let's hope this can happen at some point in the future.",enhancement,closed,minor,4.8.14,mc-tty,master,fixed,,,,,merged,committed-master
