I'd be surprised if that wasn't just Impact.

what the hell is pseudo-italicization?

Jesus, atkinson.

instead of using the Italicized version of the font they just click the [ I ] icon (like in the previous example Word)

I don't think Impact has an italic (or an oblique).
I guess I'm old-school, that was a typesetting term from when I used to order type but it sounds pretty obvious to me.

So what is 'tracked'?
- adjusting the spacing between letters. The sample you gave us is tracked openly.Josev
- It's not the same as kerning, though, which is to adjust between individual pairs. Tracking is across the whole word. This is a very simplified description.Josev
- word. This is a very simplified description.Josev
- I meant "individual letter or character pairs"Josev

Tracking is on this page, 3/4 of the way down:
http://ilovetypography.com/2008/…...or interletter or letter spacing as typesetters used to call it.
I miss having someone who's sole job was to make sure my typography was perfect. I hated keylining, though.
