The achievement of italic font in its basic form (on a uniform background) can be obtained by just writing 9 lines of PPL code, so it doesn't require much effort at all. However, the mini-project under the link I provided will allow text formatting in many ways: there will probably be two or three types of bolding, strikethrough, underline, italic, with background, and framed. Eventually, I'll try to make it also support monospace font and maybe semi-transparent font too.

Of course, it would be ideal if the firmware update enabled native support, but I'm afraid it will take a very long time for that to happen. Furthermore, even if we eventually get it, the formatting capabilities probably won't be as extensive as in this emerging solution.
