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

From [Font style: the `font-style` property](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-fonts-4/#font-style-prop):

>> oblique [<angle [-90deg,90deg]>](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-values-4/#angle-value)?
    Controls matching against an oblique face. Positive angles represent a clockwise slant; negative angles represent a counter-clockwise slant. The lack of an [<angle>](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-values-4/#angle-value) represents 14deg. (Note that a font might internally provide its own mapping for "oblique", but the mapping within the font is disregarded.) Fractional and negative values are accepted; however, values less than -90deg or values greater than 90deg are [invalid](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-syntax-3/#css-invalid). If no oblique faces exist, and [font-synthesis-style](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-fonts-4/#propdef-font-synthesis-style) has the value auto, a synthetic oblique face will be generated.

So, this is already explicitly possible: set `font-style` to the desired value, such as `-14deg` and set `font-synthesis-style'`to auto.
