MakeIndex, Nomenclature, Glossaries and Acronyms ⇒ glossaries | format for first long form of glossary entry

[Aquaman]

Dear Helpers,

I would like to chance how the entry will be displayed on first use in the text. I can use \defglsdisplayfirst{\emph{#1#4}} to change the format. But I don't want to emphasise the whole entry, I would like just to emphasize the long from and the short form shout appear not emphasized in brackets. Like this:
Long term (short term).

The code so far:

Code: Select all

Code, edit and compile here:

11
12
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{glossaries}
\newacronym{sample}{short}{long}
\makeglossaries
\defglsdisplayfirst{\emph{#1#4}}
\begin{document}
  First: \gls{sample}. Next: \gls{sample}.
  \printglossaries
\end{document}

I also tried something like this, with no success. In this case the short form is mssing at all:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[smaller]{glossaries}
\newacronym{sample}{short}{long}
\makeglossaries
\defglsdisplayfirst{\emph{#1#4}}
\renewcommand*{\firstacronymfont}[1]{\normalfont{#1}}
\renewcommand*{\acronymfont}[1]{#1}
\begin{document}
  First: \gls{sample}. Next: \gls{sample}.
  \printglossaries
\end{document}
