[why]
For fonts that have no Italic but an Oblique - i.e. when Oblique shall replace the Italic role in RIBBI font grouping (classic group of 4) - that grouping fails.

This affects DejaVu on Putty.

[how]
For RIBBI grouping only the classic bits are considered. That means that for fonts that have Oblique instead of Italic (and not additionally) we need to set the ITALIC bit and the OBLIQUE bit. This has been overlooked.

Cite from the specs:

This bit, unlike the ITALIC bit (bit 0), is not related to style-linking
in applications that assume a four-member font-family model comprised
of regular, italic, bold and bold italic. It may be set or unset
independently of the ITALIC bit. In most cases, if OBLIQUE is set, then
ITALIC will also be set, though this is not required.

Fixes: #1249
