This property applies font effects to content in the current
container. If the preferred style can not be accommodated, the
browser should try to find the best match to the indicated effect.
Italic and Oblique properties both result in an 'italic-like'
appearance, but some font families require the use of the 'oblique'
value instead of 'italic'.
