* vim or $otherprogram displays reverse video instead of italics, even though
tmux displays italics just fine in the status line. What's wrong?
* vim displays reverse video instead of italics, while less displays italics
(or just regular text) instead of reverse. What's wrong?
Screen's terminfo description lacks italics mode and has standout mode in its
place. To make applications aware that tmux supports italics, you'll need to
create a new terminfo file with modified smso, rmso, sitm and ritm entries:
place, but using the same escape sequence that urxvt uses for italics. This
means applications (like vim) looking for italics will not find it and might
turn to reverse in its place, while applications (like less) asking for
standout will end up with italics instead of reverse. To make applications
aware that tmux supports italics and to use a proper escape sequence for
standout, you'll need to create a new terminfo file with modified sgr, smso,
rmso, sitm and ritm entries:
$ mkdir $HOME/.terminfo/
$ screen_terminfo="screen"
$ infocmp "$screen_terminfo" | sed \
-e 's/^screen[^|]*\|[^,]*,/screen-it|screen with italics support,/' \
-e 's/^screen[^|]*|[^,]*,/screen-it|screen with italics support,/' \
-e 's/%?%p1%t;3%/%?%p1%t;7%/' \

instead of "screen". See the FAQ entry about 256 colors support for more info.
Also note that tmux will still display reverse video on terminals that do not
support italics.
If your urxvt cannot display italics at all, make sure you have an italics
capable font enabled, for example, add to ~/.Xdefaults:
urxvt.italicFont: xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:italic:autohint=true
