how to enable italic font in terminal emacs?

[Shiyao MA]

Hi,

I am using iterm2 + tmux.

The term supports italic font,  for example:
printf "\e[3;4;33mthis is a test\n\e[0m"

it prints out italic text in the shell running in iterm2+ tmux.


However, in terminal emacs, I cannot get italic font.

For example, in orgmode with the text:
/my-italic-text/
it simply doesn't become italic.


Best,
