Somewhere in the last n years, I recall someone in the Microsoft 
typography department (or is that an oxymoron?) vigorously stating 
that san-serif fonts don't need italic versions.

It may have been in response to someone asking why there was no Tahoma 
Italic. Arial's and Verdana's "italics" are really obliques.
