           Summary: User needs to be able to set Lucida Grande "italic"
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 420+ (nightly)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML Editing
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: dwood at karelia.com


To reproduce:

0. Launch Blot_editableDiv_showSource, my modified version of "Blot" available
from <http://dan.karelia.com/webkit/Blot_editableDiv_showSource.zip> with
DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH pointing to TOT.  (I'm using r18941)

1. Using some sort of webkit viewing program, render the following markup:

<div style="font:24px 'Lucida Grande';">Hello this is <i>Italic</i>
Lucida.</div>

2. Copy that text (noting that it is Lucida Grande, with a synthesized italic)

3. Click on the top panel in the modified Blot

4. Paste in the text.  (Note that the italic is transferred over)

5. Select some other text, such as the word "this"

6. Attempt to make this text italic from within Blot

Results: You can't.  So even though WebKit can (with some font synthesis)
display italic Lucida, you can't actually make text be italic using the
standard menus.

Suggestion:  Since Lucida Grande "italic" is supported for display by WebKit,
please also make that property editable.  Otherwise, a user might see some text
in italic, remove it, and then want to restore it to being italic.
