In math mode, if you want text to appear in italics, and not be treated
like a formula, use \textit{...}.
There's also \textrm if you want it to be nonitalicized. Bunch of
others - see the links below.
Check out the page now - the 2nd formula is using \textit
Ever been to the LaTeX Wikibook:
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX
I don't know how good it is for learning LaTeX, but it's fairly good
for either quick lookups or for "recipes" to achieve certain effects:

Jackpot! Exactly what I was going for, with them next to each other it's
easy to see the difference in font spacing.

Ah. I knew about \textrm, but \textit wasn't mentioned anywhere. (I know
it works in text mode, but I wasn't sure about math mode.)
Good work.

For me it was the opposite.<G> I thought they were meant primarily for
math mode, and only found out they work in regular mode when I posted
the Wikibook links...

Welcome to my humble home.
This took 11 minutes to draw. And no, the house isn't *really* that
God-awful colour...
[And no, technically it's my mum's house.]
