Subject: [OT] − RobotoSlab Italics… or not

Hi folks,
I'm working on a Roboto typescript and starting from the work done by
Zen Lima back in last July, I would like to push things further.
Since I work on some Android projects and use Google Keep mostly on a
daily basis, I was surprised to not find italics for the RobotoSlab
(either on the web or by extracting the assets of the Keep package).
Why am I surprised: Keep do have serif title placeholders for the new
note EditText and I see it everyday!
$ mtxrun --script font --list --all --pattern=robotoslab
robotoslab robotoslabbold RobotoSlab-Bold.ttf
robotoslabbold robotoslabbold RobotoSlab-Bold.ttf
robotoslablight robotoslablight RobotoSlab-Light.ttf
robotoslabregular robotoslabregular RobotoSlab-Regular.ttf
robotoslabthin robotoslabthin RobotoSlab-Thin.ttf
OK, RobotoSlab fonts are accessible and I have a working typescript to
use RobotoSlab with ConTeXt MkIV (I'll made the git repo public soon).
At first, my thoughts are: nevermind the Slab italics but now, I'm
curious since Inkscape, LibreOffice, … propose the italic and bolditalic
features of the RobotoSlab (check out the attached font-manager screenshot).
I've worked with different kind of fonts'family (more or less complete)
and used and modified many typescripts in my ConTeXter's life but there
I should be missing something obvious. Where are the RobotoSlab
Italics??? My experience is that italic and bolditalic should correspond
to files… First guess: no files so the RobotoSlab Italic and BoldItalic
features are just faked ones composed by my GNU/Linux Debian system. No,
I must be wrong here too…
Any thoughts on "The Quest of the Hidden Italics of the RobotoSlab fonts!"?
Best Regards,
Renaud
