What do you mean with `implement'?  Real italic, contrary to slanting,
can't be handled by FreeType since you need different glyph shapes.
You can easily slant a font by applying a proper shear matrix.

There is no function to underline a glyph; it should be probably be
done by a higher-level library since there are too many variations in
underlining (straight, wavy, etc.).
