Mac – Underline instead of italic in org mode

emacs

I just switched from windows to ubuntu.
Somehow it has changed the behavior of Org mode so that now test enclosed between / are underlined (similarly as text enclosed between _) while it was italicised before.
How can I change that ?
I suppose I would have to deal with fonts and associates but I still lack proficiency in that matter.

Move point to something that's not displayed as you want, and hit C-u C-x =. This will bring up a new buffer with information about the character at point.

The piece you're interested in is this:

There are text properties here:
  face                 (italic)

(You might have something else than italic there.)

In my Emacs, italic is a link to a page where you can customize the face. You can also type M-x customize-face RET italic directly. In the Customize buffer that appears, you can change what the text should look like.
