Don't know either, but a page[1] says: Hebrew doesn't have them. But people want and would use them. It is not true that "italics that are leaning right is acceptable". Left leaning italics are actually preferable. The first sentence applies to Japanese too; professionals think "Japanese doesn't have Italics," but people want and actually use them. We can't find the right answer from the history but need to invent the most appropriate answer. [1] http://typophile.com/node/49385?page=2 /koji
