actually, this is on firefox side.

Mozilla team strangely use GDI transformation to simulate italic font, not 
using native GDI italic font directly, while all the other browsers use the 
native one. Mozilla explain this as it was caused by a resource leak bug. This 
is ridiculous that only firefox has such a fun problem and they blame to the 
GDI architecture.

since it is real hard to support GDI distortion (GDI Zooming and tensile is 
already supported), mactype and gdipp won't be able render these "italic" font 
in the future.
