    nothing wrong with that italics. Where do you have a problem?

    Не даром же мы поэт. There's a good reason we're a poet! I think he's speaking to himself with the royal "we". I hope she's sure about her choice of quotation.

    Just paste that phrase into word, italicize it, and run it through the font options you have. Just as English lowercase a differs from italic lowercase a, some Russian letters have very different italic versions, not just slanted roman.

    This is incorrect translation
    Correct translation of "Не даром же мы поэт" - Not for nothing are we a poet (meaning not for nothing but for something - money for example)
    "There's a good reason we're a poet!" translates to "Недаром же мы поэт"
