--- Comment #3 from Caolán McNamara <caolanm at redhat.com> ---
https://developer.apple.com/fonts/TrueType-Reference-Manual/RM06/Chap6hhea.html
documents that there is a Truetype feature in the hhea table caretSlopeRise,
caretSlopeRun, caretOffset (and italicAngle in the post table) Checking
Caladea-Italic as a random italic font I see it has these values set, so it
looks like we could pull the correct slant to use for the cursor out of the
font directly (like we do for ascent/descent). Looks initially plausible that
we could do something like this.
