The font-style property sets the font to normal, italic or oblique text. For example: {font-style: italic;}
A normal font is vertically straight and at a 90 degree angle to the baseline. In the olden days, the normal style was known as "Roman” or “upright”. Oblique and italic text is tilted. An oblique version of a font is usually made by tilting all the characters to the right, sometimes using a mathematical formula. The italic version is drawn from scratch. Every typeface should have a normal, italic and oblique style but most browsers only recognise either italic or oblique. Internet Explorer, for example, supports only normal and italic. |
