If an italic style font actually exists (ariali.ttf, for example) that name gets assigned in TRichView. It then prints correctly whether in WinXP or WINE.
If there's no italic style font (as is standard for Tahoma) then TRichView uses the base font and assigns the italic style to it. That works fine for printing in WinXP; it also works from native linux apps, e.g. LibreOffice. It doesn't work in WINE.
Who's the culprit here? wineps.drv? Is it that wineps.drv requires an italic font like ariali.ttf or verdanai.ttf in order to print italics?
