Strange, I'm seeing italics in Sublime Text 3 for Source Code Pro.

You're right that the font seems to lack italics, anyone know whether this is just Sublime faking it?

Yes, as you stated it's basically Sublime slanting the characters.

Here is the ticket on Github: https://github.com/adobe/source-code-pro/issues/6

I think the font rendering engines (e.g. FreeType) can do fake italics by slating the characters.
