IIRC the monospace font itself would have the cursive characters as its "italic" typeface, then the terminal would just need to be sent the control characters for italic text (i.e. https://rubjo.github.io/victor-mono/)

Oh I see, so it's one font but two styles. That makes more sense (though to be honest I don't think I knew older terminals could do italics either)
