[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: Italics in TableViewers / StyledStrings

["news.eclipse.org" <tom.schindl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Italic is a style attribute of the used font so subclassing 
StyledString.Styler and setting an appropriate font should be enough.

Are you by the way sure you need a StyledCellLabelProvider? If your 
whole label is in italic you could use an ordinary ColumnLabelProvider 
and return a font with ITALIC. From a performance point of view this is 
much better!
