Support selecting italic/oblique versions #1203

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Some symbols resemble letters, e.g. ⌊ vs L and ○ vs o and ∨ vs v and × vs x. Some historical programming fonts have dealt with this by making all letters italic or oblique. This also takes care of disambiguation between 0 and O without having to add any decorator to 0.

Describe the solution you'd like I'd like the Variants selection interface to allow selecting the italic/oblique versions of the letters.

Describe alternatives you've considered Building one upright and one italic/oblique font, and then manually merging them in a font editor.

Additional context italic/oblique letters in various fonts

Supporting this will require a block-wise build... Set as far future -- it needs a full refactor.
