No, please leave it as is.

> Use a script-like font.

> In this example the graph identifier is output in a cursive font.

Changing the first line to "Use a script-like or cursive font" leaves the second line with a repeat of the word "cursive."  I believe it is better as it is.

OK, still I will edit the node to say something like « script-like or
cursive », just for the reader to be aware that in the scope of this
node this means the same.
