            Bug ID: 143013
           Summary: Separate italic from oblique font family variants
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.2.0.0.alpha0+
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: needsUXEval
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: eyalroz1 at gmx.com

In LO today, we don't have a proper separation of italic variants of font
families from oblique variants. Obviously, italic fonts are one thing, and
oblique fonts are quite another; see:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblique_type

It should be possible to treat these separately. That is, a toolbar button for
italicizing will not engage obliqueness, and vice-versa (but engaging any of
them will disengage the other, since there aren't any italic-oblique fonts
AFAIK); and they won't use the same keyboard shortcut.

I suggest that an option to do this be added to the LO option, and the
necessary UI work be done to allow for it. I am assuming that the ODF format
supports such separate indications, please correct me if I'm wrong.
