You need to install one. I believe the new OpenType version of Palatino  
bundled with Windows 2000 and later has italic small caps.

``The new OT
(OpenType) Palatino includes italic smallcaps, drawn by Geraldine Wade  
and
approved by Hermann Zapf.'', John Hudson, Type Director

Here's a thread on this:

lnk=st&q=palatino+italic+small+caps&rnum=7#4cfad5f3b8dc1a44

(I'd however suggest using mathpazo instead of pxfonts --- I believe  
the latest fpl variant for mathpazo has italic small caps as well ---  
even if you install the Linotype Palatino for text, the mathpazo math  
fonts are better)
