I am new to LaTeX and I just strated to use Polyglossia to write Hebrew documents. When I try to write text in italic, it just produces the same text style. For example
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setmainlanguage{hebrew}
\setmainfont{David}
\begin{document}
שלום עולם
\textit{שלום עולם}
\end{document}
Produces:
How can I define italic-type for the font?
pdflatex
