It should, but for some reason, neither educators, nor graphologists
consider Italic writing to be cursive. [Show them a sample of Italic
writing, and the usual response is "That is not Cursive writing."]

I'll include pretty much anything ranging from d"Nealian to Chancery
Cursive as being cursive.
