textStyle and Italic

[J. Landman Gay]

The information is in the release notes, and the behavior brings font management into conformance with how mobile font styling works (there are no simulated styles on mobile.) 

The IDE reports italics because that's what was assigned and the engine apparently keeps the designation though it no longer can render it. The IDE must be using that info to do a font substitution or something similar. Your own scripts could do the same.
