NX ITALIC not possible (Arial Unicode MS font and other)

NX cannot apply the format option "Italic" to font "Arial Unicode MS", while MS Word (or other MS products) can do this.

Microsoft product are able to emulate the italic option for fonts, even when that font does not contain this capability. NX does not offer such a function.

In NX the italic format option is available only, when "Italic" font style for the selected font is included.

To check the font in question:

- open folder C:\Windows\Fonts

- check font styles

If this doesn't show Italic style here, then NX does not offer this.

Example for Arial Rounded MT:

This is not a software fault in NX. An ER 10479953 already exists to have a new capability like in Word:

"Customer wish to enhance NX like Microsoft WORD. In Microsoft WORD, the italic font style can be applied even though that style is not defined in associated font file."
