 The CJK fonts usually comes w/o oblique style (traditionally rarely used)
 so artificial oblique is needed. Checked on OS image 656 and candidate 691
 that oblique style is rendered as normal. Similar to #4061.

 Artificial oblique is rendered well at least for Write activity in the
 same builds. This should be of upstream problem as official Firefox 3beta2
 and Swiftfox (3beta4) both show the same syndrome and even on a Fedora 7
 normal NB.

 A quick test page is set up:

 Also a screen capture is attached.
