>Description:
With teTeX-3.0nb1 (installed from print/teTeX) dvipdfm/dvipdfmx render \textsl as normal (unslanted) text when a custom font is used.
I have seen this with the New Century Schoolbook and Times fonts.
When using plain Computer Modern fonts the slanted text is rendered correctly.
The custom fonts are also rendererd properly in xdvi, dvips and pdflatex. However I'd prefer to continue using dvipdfmx. I have a work created with teTeX2 some time ago where it worked, but I haven't rechecked now.
>How-To-Repeat:
Consider this LaTeX file:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{newcent}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\begin{document}
afdfljf \textsl{dkeic} decmei
\end{document}
latex test.tex
dvipdfmx test.tex
xpdf test.pdf
Look at the word in the middle.
>Fix:
None.
