Toad for Oracle: Illegible PL/SQL Comments

I found after I upgraded Toad for Oracle from 8.6.1 to 9.6.1, I could no longer read comments in PL/SQL code. They appeared as illegible, nonsense, unreadable text.
This is actually a problem with displaying the comments as italics. To avoid this, change the displaying of comments to be non-italicised as described below.
From the menu select:
View –> Toad Options –> Editor –> Behavior
In the Languages box, ensure PL/SQL is present in the drop down list, then select “Syntax highlighting”.
On the Highlighting tab, select “Comment” from the Styles list. Untick “Italic” in the Font style box and then press the Apply button.
PL/SQL comments should now be displayed legibly.

Awesome, thanks so much! I spent a good ten minutes looking for this option before I came across your post.

The italicized comments have been irking me for a while but I could not figure out how to modify this in TOAD. Thanks for the insight.
