Synopsis
Inherited: Yes
Determines whether the element is rendered in a normal (Roman),
italic, or oblique font style. If the font-family
includes font faces labeled Italic and/or Oblique, the setting of the
font-style attribute summons those particular font
faces from the browser’s system. But if the specialized font
faces are not available in the system, the normal font face is
usually algorithmically slanted to look italic. Output sent to a
printer with such font settings rely on the quality of arbitration
between the client computer and printer to render an electronically
generated italic font style. Although personal computer software
typically includes other kinds of font rendering under the heading of
“Style,” see font-variant and
font-weight for other kinds of font
“styles.”
