HOWTO: get multi-character math identifiers in the default math italic font?

I see that by default TeXmacs typesets single-character math
identifiers (eg. $x$) in italic and multi-character identifiers
(eg. $exp$) in an upright font. But when I typeset equations such as
"$ds^2 = dx^2 + dy^2$ I want "ds" etc. to appear in the same italic
font as single-character identifiers.

I tried selecting Format -> Variant -> Text Font -> Italic , but that
gives me a slightly different italic font. How do I select the italic
font that is used for $x$?

I was able to do it by inserting a zero-width space between the "d"
and "x" of "dx" but that's an awful hack. Please tell me there's a
better way!

Regards,

Jeremy Henty
