11 months ago I thought that I had eliminated all the italic angle meta data for everything!
I think that because these won't get roman or italic counterparts, it won't make sense and could even cause trouble making them have an italic designation ( where is the roman upright?!). MS Word might not show the family. And so on.
Also from a naming point of view, shorter is better and Italic makes it longer.

Because this font is designed with an Italic Angle of 10 degrees in the Glyphs masters setup, fontmake is (correctly) setting the subfamily name to Italic and italic bits in macStyle etc. This causes fontbakery fails when we instantiate an instance called "Regular".
@EbenSorkin https://github.com/EbenSorkin, we either need to:
a) Consider this an Italic font, and adjust the instance naming in the Exports panel. b) Consider this a Regular font, and set the Italic Angle to 0.
I suspect this will be true for all the Australia School Hand families. I think probably option b is best? Not sure.
