Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-fonts] avoid fallback from oblique to italic (#9389)

> Would a proposed resolution of “Do not allow fallback to italic for oblique in font matching” work? Is Gecko the only engine that would need to change for this?

I don't think it's correct that only Gecko is affected by this.

Taking a trivial example,
```
data:text/html,<div style="font:20px Times">hello <span style="font-style:oblique">oblique</span> world
```
my understanding of this resolution is that the browser should **not** render the word "oblique" using Times Italic; it must instead use an oblique face, synthesizing one it if there isn't a real oblique available.

Currently, all of Chrome, Safari and Firefox give me Times Italic there, so they will all need to change to implement this resolution.
