Solved

Some hours and googling later, I realized this has nothing to do with alacritty but nevertheless, it's working and this is my result. screen shot 2017-03-21 at 8 56 34 am

Solution

Part 1 - the simple stuff

  1. First off you'll need to purchase Operator Mono, Hoefler & Co customer support told me Operator Mono SSm is the way to go for sizes 9px to 18px.
  2. Set it as the font within alacritty.yml - (reference above screenshot).
  3. If you use NerdFonts, you'll need to patch Operator Mono using FontForge here.
  4. Within vimrc or init.vim 
    hi Comment gui=italic cterm=italic
hi htmlArg gui=italic cterm=italic

Part 2 - the hard stuff

  1. In home directory create new file xterm-256color-italic.terminfo with the following contents: 
    xterm-256color-italic|xterm with 256 colors and italic,
sitm=\E[3m, ritm=\E[23m,
use=xterm-256color,
  2. Compile it, with command: tic xterm-256color-italic.terminfo
  3. Set it as the TERM within alacritty.yml - (reference above screenshot).
  4. Restart alacritty. test with command: echo -e "\e[3mfoo\e[23m". It should output foo in italics.

Part 3 - tmux

  1. Place the following within your tmux.conf: 
    # enable true color support and italics
set -g default-terminal "xterm-256color-italic"
set -ga terminal-overrides ",xterm-256color-italic:Tc"
  2. Restart tmux
