> It feels like it should also be possible to request an oblique font that is slanted _forward_ or _backward_ with respect to the inline progression, not just statically _left_ or _right_. In addition, or instead? [Looking at the RTL examples from @r12a](https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/8914#issuecomment-1649678597) it does seem that `left` or `right` would be more useful as expectations differ depending on writing system. > I’m not sure this is already covered sufficiently as well: When specifying a `-5deg` slant angle, authors would probably prefer the –20° font be chosen over the +5° one, although the latter is numerically closer. Yes, the need to match in the desired direction (rather than to the closest, which might slope the opposite way) was discussed last week at TPAC and [I proposed a change to the spec](https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/8914#issuecomment-1719110721) to say so. -- GitHub Notification of comment by svgeesus Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/9392#issuecomment-1731206129 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
