:weight is obviously a good idea (although I wish somebody would
define weight quantitatively in a way that makes it possible to match
weights for different character sets).
What values does :slant take? It had better not be a boolean, nor
numerical: italic != slanted. Or have they given up on trying to match
roman and italic fonts by family, and are doing it by database?
slant can be italic or oblique.
