--- Comment #10 from RGB <rgb.mldc at gmail.com> ---
The problem of LibO not being able to tell apart italic from slanted variants
is still present on 5.3.4.2

Another font to play with:

http://www.ctan.org/pkg/xcharter

To add more information: there is a command line application on Linux, otfinfo,
that provides information about OpenType fonts. With the "-i" flag you get
things like font family, shape, etc.

otfinfo -i XCharter-Italic.otf

Family:              XCharter
Subfamily:           Italic
Full name:           XCharter Italic
PostScript name:     XCharter-Italic
etc.

otfinfo -i XCharter-Slanted.otf

Family:              XCharter
Subfamily:           Slanted
Full name:           XCharter Slanted
PostScript name:     XCharter-Slanted
etc.

But LibO offers 4, not 6, variants, calling "italic" the slanted version. The
only workaround to get true italics is to delete the slanted files. But then,
of course, you cannot use the slanted versions.
