This issue is applicable to Arabic/Persian, Hebrew, & N'Ko.

There should be means available to control the direction in which 'italicised' or 'oblique' text slants, since some users prefer such text to slant to the left, following the flow of the text itself (in the same way that italicisation does in English).

For more details, see this GitHub issue, which is being used to track this gap. Please add any discussion there, and not to this issue.
