Oblique means a slanted version of the original font. A true italic font is designed with different letter shapes - it is not just a slanted version of the same font.

Some sans-serif font families do not have a true italic font - just a slanted (oblique) version of the standard font.

Oblique type (or slanted, sloped) is a form of type that slants slightly to the right, used in the same manner as italic type. Unlike italic type, however, it does not use different glyph shapes; it uses the same glyphs as roman type, except distorted.

When a blockage occurs, draw a card, and see if it can direct you in a tangential way that helps solve the problem. I have created a Python implementation that includes two different decks. Since one of these is my own, I can be sure this is an...

Here's a strange thing which took me hours to track down. I'd have thought that 'font-style: italic;' was generally harmless, but apparently not to IE7 and/or Vista. The stripped-down version of the web page is at http://www.wessex100.org.uk/index_demo.html and the stylesheet is at http://www.wessex100.org.uk/shared/wessex_demo.css . Both validate. The odd behaviour affects the width of the page displayed and thus the placing of the...

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
