Japanese fonts in vertical text should support synthesized italics

Not really sure if the slant direction is what we want here or not. It matches Blink, but I don't know if that's what we want here.

isn't this just -obliqueSkew?

I then think this simplifies to
if (platformData.orientation() == Vertical && font.isTextOrientationFallback()
 matrix = ... obliqueSkew ...
else
 matrix = ... -obliqueSkew ...

Could a ref test have one Ahem character italicized in vertical writing mode, and the reference have the same character in horizontal writing mode and have a skew transform applied?

[Dave Hyatt]

Every ref test I've tried to make here has had small differences. The characters don't start off in the same place for vertical vs. horizontal.

Awkward comment wrapping.

Fixed in r214848.

The expected result files for fast/text/international/synthesized-italic-vertical-latin.html were removed with this change. Did you intend to delete the test, too?

This appears to have been accidental. Added the results back in http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/changeset/214892
