Hi Karen,
I guess I may as well thrown my own 2 cents worth into the confusion.
My semi-educated guess is that an italic font has been used, simply because it
looks nice. It could have been Courier, Times New Roman or Monty Python's 15
point Script.
In fact I have just experimented with a Windows XP font called "Abigail" which
looks like joined up handwriting. If I italicise it, it still looks like
joined up handwriting, it just leans a bit more to the right, that's all.
It's a menu after all, and my guess is that the italics carry no meaning, just
visual effect.
On the other hand, if elsewhere was stated something like - "Menu items in
italics are suitable for vegetarians", then that is an entirely different and
serious matter.
George Bell.
