I downloaded the regular and italic versions of a font but they are showing up separately in the fonts list and the ctrl+i shortcut does not switch between them. I could only find one place to download them from. Is it possible to designate one of these as the italic of another, such that Word knows to switch between them when I click ctrl+i? Perhaps I would need to edit the metadata?



FYI the font is bembo book w04

I think that has to have been established within the font. But there's nothing stopping you from setting up two different styles, one with one font and one with the other.
