Seven years ago, on a Mozilla bug where the OP wanted to avoid fallback from oblique to italic but the bug was closed because Firefox was spec-compliant in doing so, @jfkthame [wrote](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1303580#c1): > Note that this -does- call for use of an 'italic' face as fallback when 'oblique' is not present. Therefore, IE11 and Firefox are in conformance with the current spec, while Chrome and Edge are following the older CSS2 spec. > However, I'd encourage you to raise this as an issue with the CSS Working Group (e.g by email to [www-style@w3.org](mailto:www-style@w3.org), or by opening an issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/tree/master/css-fonts), as I think it would actually be preferable for the browser to synthesize an oblique face when 'oblique' is requested, rather than using an italic face. Which resulted in - https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/514 which was closed by https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/commit/a427dc8e1025fed71131db8a106aa420e640ea2c and re-reading that, it adds some clarity, no longer favors italic over synthetic oblique, but *still* allows fallback from oblique to italic! -- GitHub Notification of comment by svgeesus Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/9389#issuecomment-1731506577 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
