Regarding Hebrew, Italics are seldom used and look quite strange, at least
to me. They should be slanted forward, but some people use Latin oriented
software that slants backwards.

The thread "Japanese font that includes Italics" lets me ask:

Is italic type fully accepted today in Hebrew typography?

How to slant - clockwise or counterclockwise?

Armenian letters (as in the Unicode standard) are traditionally

slanted. Is "upright" the Armenian italics?
