Left leaning oblique text in an Arabic newspaper.
Hi Richard, are there WPT tests planned for this? hi Karl. Unfortunately, i don't have bandwidth enough to create WPT tests these days. Anyone is welcome to adapt the test i point to, if that helps. Note that a further wrinkle has appeared here. The CSS spec suggests that if an italic font face is available, the font-style:oblique xxdeg; directive should be ignored in favour of the font. This, however, is not appropriate when it turns oblique letterforms into italic ones, and converts left leaning to right leaning.
