We know that using italic fonts can cause the right side of a character to be sheared, but there are some software in the world that do not suffer from this problem, such as IE, FireFox or Microsoft Word. Would you consider fixing this problem thoroughly? May be a double bufferring technique may be used to solve it: Render the characters in a memory-based bitmap first, then transfer the bitmap on to the screen.

Rendering italics properly is simple enough when you own all the code involved with displaying text. Unfortunately, VA X is just an add-in hacking its way into an unsuspecting IDE.
Some fonts shear less than others. Try a different font if you see too much shearing. See the bottom of:

Really improved? I am using VAX 1543, and I'm using font NSimSun(or SimSun) for VC6. When I key in ``rand()'', letter 'd' is sheared. |

Shearing of italic fonts improved in 1543. What build are you using?
It is not likely to improve beyond 1543.
