Hello guys, I have a question to here.

Anyone knows how text to italic in illustrator 2018?

Actually when in 2017, I made it by an icon which shape is T and tilted.

But, from version of 2018, I can't find it anymore.

Where is it? Do you guys know it?

Please let me know if you guys know.

Thanks always.

strictly speaking, you'd make text italic by using an italic font. there isn't as far as i know a way of faking it ad hoc with oblique characters in Illustrator. you could shear the whole text object, but that would rarely be a good solution.

Taylor,

For a fake italic, you can always Object>Transform>Shear with the desired angle (if you must).
