What I've found is that the italics text I have no longer works in the pdf (or related, the print copy). It displays correctly in VS Preview, VS Html Preview, and in the browser. If you print (pdf) or export to pdf, however, the font is not italicized.
I've attached an image showing what I'm seeing.
The font I'm using is 9pt Tahoma.
Thanks for any help!

Tahoma does not naturally support Italics (you can check that from the control panel by looking at the installed fonts, you will notice that Tahoma has only bold). Since the font does not have an Italics version, the exported PDF will not have either.
The other formats have Italics because they create it artificially, however on default setting (font embedding = subset), the PDF cannot.
The easiest workaround would be to use a font that naturally supports Italics (like Arial, Times New Roman, etc...).
The other option would be to export the PDF with FontEmbedding = None (this will allow the Reader to handle the Italics itself).
Note: The situation with Bold is exactly the same.

I simply switched to a different sans serif font.
