[sword-devel] Rendering added words for languages that don't use italics?

Not all languages have fonts that include italics as a text style. 

Italics are generally unavailable except for the scripts that use Latin,
Greek and Cyrillic alphabets.
[probably a gross over-simplification, but you get the gist of what I'm
saying]

So what should front-end applications use for presentational rendering in
such modules when the Bible translation features added words? 
i.e. In USFM as marked using \add_...\add*

Has there been any previous discussion on this topic?

David
