Not one of my favorite fonts, either, but when style guidelines and

A quick grep through the print stylesheets reveals "font-posture" and
"font-weight". And indeed, adding "font-posture: 'italic" to the
definition of an article in dbttlpg.dsl worked. It shows up in Helvetica
Oblique (or an italic version of Helvetica -- some days I hate fonts).
So, it would appear that if I want to use Helvetica Oblique everywhere,
I'll need to add "font-posture: 'italic" to all references to
%title-font-family%. There are 39 in the print stylesheets.
If there is an easier way of doing this, I'm open to it.
Thanks much,
Debbie
