[Mechanical snail <569396@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Confirmed in Netbeans on fresh install of Lucid with OpenJDK. Installing
Netbeans installs openjdk-6.

Workaround: I installed ttf-dejavu (which pulls in ttf-dejavu-extra by
dependency), and the italic fonts in Netbeans display properly after
restarting it.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: fontconfig

First noticed in IntelliJ IDEA (java IDE): All italic text in editor is non-monospace in ubuntu 10.04. It has always been monospace in all previous versions of ubuntu.

Can be reproduced in JEdit too:
1. Open/Create any.sh file
2. Type in two lines:
_miii
#miii
3. Go to "Utilities-> Quick Settings -> Edit syntax style of token under caret" and select italic (so comments will be shown italic).

Result: Width of two lines is different, non-monospace font is used.
Expected: Comments are italic but still monospace.
