Italic and a little less font weight should be OK for any system that does not implement this natively.Italic sounds good because it is distinct from a text entered by user.

However many widgetsets, including WinAPI, don't use Italic. I don't know why.
LCL's policy is to use native widget behavior, thus logically native TextHint should be used when available.
Maybe the emulated one should be always Italic and a compile time define should force it to be emulated always. Patches, anyone?
