Character inclined to put country almost in charge (6)
I believe the answer is:
italic
'character inclined' is the definition.
'country almost in charge' is the wordplay.
'country' becomes 'italy' (Italy is an example).
'almost' means to remove the last letter (most of the word but not all of it).
'in charge' becomes 'ic' (abbreviation for 'in charge').
'italy' with its final letter removed is 'ital'.
'ital'+'ic'='ITALIC'
'to put' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for italic that I've seen before include "Sloping type of print" , "from Rome?" , "Sloping (writing)" , "Slanting character" , "Group of languages" .)
