If you have style guides your colleagues consider authoritative, check there as well. If it's cast as aesthetics, though, all bets are off since beauty is in the eye of the beholder :) . Note the reason for italics, though - it's not really effective as 'heavy' emphasis (same font weight); it simply distinguishes one set of text from its surroundings. Toggling between italics and roman achieves that purpose. To make something stand out, use bold, underline, outline fonts, etc instead. | |
