how to draw italic text

[sleepy]

I need to draw some italic text on an image, and found packages https://github.com/golang/image/ and https://github.com/golang/freetype/truetype

but I cannot find an example to draw text in italic style, the documentation of freetype is too much for me.

could anyone help me with this, thanks very much.

As far as I understand you just have to use ttf which contains the italic font. Ie, in Windows, in your Fonts directory you have files like
arial.ttf
arialbd.ttf
ariali.ttf
These all are Arial fonts but respectively regular, bold and italic styles.

const fontpath = "c:\\Windows\\Fonts\\ariali.ttf "

Watch out for the trailing space in that string literal.

You could also avoid the double-backslashes by using a `backtick
string`. https://golang.org/ref/spec#String_literals

thanks all for your reply.

but I need to draw some Chinese characters, which don't have italic font.
