I think it is a general requirement to style an "alternate voice" in different fonts, and italics/oblique don't work well in Japanese either. Which one to use instead isn't very well standardized, vary by the author and the situation, but usually a specific group of families that represents the author's intention best, such as serif/sans-serif, rounded, Kaisho, Reishotai, Kointai, (the last three examples are Japanese specific families) etc. As an example, Japanese Gothic typefaces are often used for highlighting/emphasis when the main text is in a Mincho typeface. This usage is documented in [jlreq](https://w3c.github.io/jlreq/#h-note-129) (see also https://tsutawarudesign.com/miyasuku/miyasuku-56.svg for an illustration). (I will refrain from giving more examples. I think examples are more suitable for issues for specific generic font families, rather than this meta issue.) -- GitHub Notification of comment by xfq Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/4910#issuecomment-627290122 using your GitHub accountReceived on Tuesday, 12 May 2020 11:39:42 UTC
