On my emacs (version 22.0.50.1 from 
http://people.redhat.com/petersen/emacs/) *emphasazed text* is not 
slanted but appears in a light blue color.

How the 'italic' face appears depends on the color-theme I'm currently 
using.

I use the color-themes package 
(http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ColorTheme)
like this:

(require 'color-theme)
(color-theme-charcoal-black)
(set-face-background 'fringe "#596068")

I confirmed that the face being applied to *emphasized text* was indeed 
'italic' by placing the point within the *emphasized text* and executed 
command:

  M-x describe-properties

This gave the following output:

  Text content at position 100:
  There are text properties here:
    face                 [italic]
    fontified            t

I then looked up the face definition of 'italic' with:

  M-x customize-face RET italic

which told me that this face was defined to have a foreground color of 
'sky blue', and is NOT slanted, which agrees with what I see (whether in 
console mode or not).

That's odd. C-f and C-b work like I'd expect: the cursor moves as if the 
invisible markup was not there. (I tested in both muse-mode and 
emacs-wiki-mode).
