font-face fonts - Italics

[piotrh]

Hello Pablo,
how can I specify font-face fonts for italics?

There is no dedicated option for this.

Any chance for adding italic support in upcoming versions?
Typography is very important part of designing, it would be great impoving and extending this part of WWB in future

I did try to add it to previous versions but it turned out to be very complicated. And it will have a huge impact on almost every part of the software.
Maybe in the future when I have more free time.

I forgot to mention – variable font support also would be awsome

I'm in for this. With variable fonts you get around the issue with "italics". As it is now... I can use some font families italics... and some don't. I have to use the "Style Manager". It's the way the font families are generated from the font creation software that matters. It's when the font family are merged together it doesn't work. If I really nead to use an italic from a merged font family I open this font separately in the font editor and regenerate it as a totally different font.
