- moritzwarhier 3y agoOK, valid complaint, but honestly this is the first time I hear about the font style "oblique". Wikipedia says > Oblique type is a form of type that slants slightly to the right, used for the same purposes as italic type. Unlike italic type, however, it does not use different glyph shapes; it uses the same glyphs as roman type, except slanted So the use case for both italic and oblique font styles in the same document is very... opaque to me :) Sounds like a case of the perfect vs the good
- addaon 3y agoThe Victor Mono font is an example of a font that provides both. I use Italics for block comments, and Oblique for line comments. Do I need to? No. Does it look way better and make me happy? Yep.
