You need an italic or bold font to display these styles. It is possible
to generate "obliqued" glyphs by using a simple affine transform.

synthetic emboldening, i.e. the artifical generation of, generally
low-quality, "bold" styles from plain ones is possible but not scheduled
for the 2.0 release. Probably a bit later..
