Description

Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.19608.0
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.10

Any other software? Neovim and WSL2

Steps to reproduce

I have neovim installed on wsl2 and when I have configured neovim to render italics for comments. However, italics are not rendered when I use neovim when I run it in terminal mode in the windows terminal. I know that it's not a neovim problem because if I run it on alacritty for example, the comments are rendered in italics. I'm running neovim under WSL2 but I don't think it has any effect to this.

Expected behavior

Italics should render properly on the terminal.

Actual behavior

Italics are being ignored when rendering and fonts are only rendering in the "regular" style.
