Re: [alreq] Section on slanted font styles (Italic, Oblique, Iranic, ...)

In digital typesetting systems, it's what @khaledhosny said.

BUT, actually, there are evidence of slanting direction being applied paragraph-/page-/document-wide. This talk (by @lironlavitur) covers the topic (mostly) for the case of Hebrew, but the concepts are general and apply to Arabic script similarly: https://www.typotalks.com/videos/go-bolder-just-slant-it/

So, @r12a, IMHO what you see is one correct possibility (and the most common one when there's leaning-to-left support for RTL text), but having paragraph-/page-/document-wide should be also noted as an option, specially something to experiment more with.
