== [Generic font families] TITLE_GOES_HERE ==
Commenting on https://github.com/w3c/i18n-discuss/wiki/Generic-font-families

I can't see any value for outstanding "slanted" category in Hebrew. Just like in Latin fonts, italic or slanted is used in a conjunction with roman type within the same family. Some Hebrew font families have oblique version which is just mechanical or nearly-mechanical slanting, while others pair a true italic version with an upright one.

The only difference is that in Latin the slanted/italic font is universally skewed to the right, while in Hebrew the skewing can be to the right or to the left according to designer's preference.
