Font-style refers to the 'slant' of the text. Three styles
are available:
The Oblique style is similar to Italic, but not the same
as Italic. Within the serif font families, the italic and
oblique differ in the shape of the serif and may look
entirely different. Sans-serif families often display
oblique and italic the same.
