But As a novice, I can't help much, but is it really right to call it something that implies italic, when it's actually slanted? Seems like "sl" should go in there somewhere... But sounds like Don H. has a more concrete suggestion. (BTW, also from my novice viewpoint, it's nice to hear success stories like this; makes me less afraid to try some things myself. Thanks for that side effect of your posting!)
