Should work. Offhand, I can't think of a common font that has bold and
italic, but not both combined. I know oblique is not so common. Which
font are you thinking of?

Cordially,

In Windows XP, all major browsers simulate italics, boldface and
italics-boldface when the typeface does not contain the appropriate font.
Italics is simulated by slanting the glyphs of the normal font and boldface
is simulated by increasing the stroke width.

Here is a detailed explanation of the font matching process

[css-d] bold and italic

2009-09-29 Thread Chris Blake
Hi,

Anyone got much experience using bold and italic at the same time?

What fonts support this, mac and PC?
What happens if the font has bold and italic but not bold italic?  
Which one does it choose, if either?

Thanks in advance, CB
