My question was because in the days of handset metal type, the spaces used with an italic font were usuallly the same as were used with a roman font.

The only metal type font that I met that had its own special angled spaces was Palace Script.

So would one do exactly as with metal type or would one use the COMBINING ITALICIZER after every character for completeness?
