Hi Jakob,

There's the CSS-parameter 'font-style' you should be using for this. Set the 
value to 'oblique'. Let others correct me if I am wrong, but the font you would 
like to use has to have that variant. I don't think GeoServer is able to skew 
the font into a slanted variant.

There's no option (yet?) to adjust the kerning of the individual letters in 
GeoServer. In case you are looking into labeling areas, there's the 
VendorOption 'polygonAlign' to at least make the text follow the general 
orientation of the area.

Regards,

Edward
