It seems that [the css files that give us our fonts of choice][1] only include regular and **bold** styles for each font. In the case of [Quattrocento][q], only those two styles are available. But for the other choices, there is also *italics*. In the absence of the italics font, we get a digitally skewed slant (= [oblique][o]) of the regular font. This is (to my way of thinking) unseemly. Given that the markdown `*emphasis*` is displayed as `<em>emphasis</em>` and [this calls][em] italics by default, we get a fair bit of slant face. Would it be possible to get true italics for those font choices which support it? Here's one example of the difference this can make:  The "leaning" `f`, `a`, and `g` are the most striking in this example, but plenty of other Latin letter shapes are typically drawn differently for italics. I live in hope!
