Well, it depends. :-) You could also say that you want to find a similar
font (PANOSE matching [1] which we don't have) but in the same variant,
i.e. italic in this case. It really depends what is more important to
you: that the font is similar but italic or that it's the same font but
you fall back to non-italic. That said, I'm ok with the change. It's
just that the decision should not be done just so.
