<p>When typesetting adjacent glyphs from typefaces of different slants, the
space between them may require adjustment.

<p>Apply an <em class="dfn">italic correction</em>: modify the spacing of the preceding
glyph so that the distance between it and the following glyph is correct
if the latter is of upright shape. For example, if an
italic ‘<samp class="samp">f</samp>’ is followed immediately by a roman right
parenthesis, then in many fonts the top right portion of
the ‘<samp class="samp">f</samp>’ overlaps the top left of the right parenthesis, which
is ugly. Use this escape sequence whenever an oblique glyph is
immediately followed by an upright glyph without any intervening space.

<p>Apply a <em class="dfn">left italic correction</em>: modify the spacing of the
following glyph so that the distance between it and the preceding
glyph is correct if the latter is of upright shape. For example,
if a roman left parenthesis is immediately followed by an
italic ‘<samp class="samp">f</samp>’, then in many fonts the bottom left portion of
the ‘<samp class="samp">f</samp>’ overlaps the bottom of the left parenthesis, which is
ugly. Use this escape sequence whenever an upright glyph is followed
immediately by an oblique glyph without any intervening space.
