Hi Lauren, hi Dave, hi Tim --

Well, I am not strongly against this (anymore) since we fixed italic rendering at least for TrueType fonts.

I am leaning towards adding an "italic comments" preference as I like the current appearance... Hmm....

Note that the effect of an invalid Shout identifier would then not be so strong anymore. Red and italic are current indications of that.

Well, the "Community (dark)" theme does this already.

+/- 0 :-)

Best,
Marcel

Adding the italics to the comment font looks good to me also.
