Interesting. When I use the junicode font from sourceforge (6.15)
italics appear exactly as when junicode-italic.ttf (and as they do with
6.13) is double clicked in Nautilis. However if I use the junicode 6.15
deb packackage supplied with Ubuntu Hardy:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/ttf-junicode
http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/all/ttf-junicode/filelist

it is very different.

To test I tried on:

Gutsy - OOo 2.4.0 and OOo 2.3.1
Hardy - (U)OOo 2.4.0 (which is rc1 btw)

In order to make sure that I was using 6.15 from sourceforge, I purged
all junicode on my machine and then loaded the sourceforge junicode
fonts into my .fonts directory.
