•
A nonitalic character following an italic character is displayed in italics ((1) in Figure 18.2-22).

the subsequent nonitalic character, the protruded dots are not displayed ((2) in Figure 18.2-
22).

The dot colors that protrude because of italic display depend on the color setting of the
protruding character area ((3) in Figure 18.2-22).
•
If an italic character has a right frame of shaded character background display, the protruded
dots of the italic character are not displayed ((4) in Figure 18.2-22).
