Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-fonts] It should be possible to slant glyphs to the left for italics/oblique (#8914)

> In vertical writing mode, the glyphs may not be slanted to the left or right, but to the inline direction, but we can understand it as slanting the glyphs to a certain physical direction in horizontal writing mode, and then rotate the text 90 degrees clockwise, 

we may need to recall #2983 and #2869 on this point?
for above cases, we may consider these as a part of *normal* italic with taking rightmost vertical line of character frame as *baseline*, although...

How about cases like applying italic over mixing N'Ko string with latin or cyrillic?
I'm not familiar with N'Ko italics, but if inserted latin or cyrillic are leaning to right, we could want to have some dir (rtl/ltr) based value?
