    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.

    Subject: Italic type in Hebrew and Armenian scripts

     

    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?
