Inconsolata Italic in MacVim

Question

I'm trying to use Inconsolata as my font in MacVim, but I can't seem to find an italic version. I'm using the solarized color scheme, which is supposed to italicize comments, and it works correctly for fonts that have italic or oblique versions in the Font Book.

Is there a way to "make" an italic version somehow? Is there some file I haven't been able to find?

Answer 1

There is a LGC (Latin, Greek, Cyrilic) fork with bold and italic versions. In the download section of the repository you can find the compiled .otf files ready to use.
