Chrome Version       : 5.0.375.99
URLs (if applicable) :
Other browsers tested:
Add OK or FAIL after other browsers where you have tested this issue:
     Safari 4: OK
  Firefox 3.x: OK
         IE 7: N/A (no @font-face support)
         IE 8: N/A (not installed)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a stylesheet with the following code (must use a valid font):

@font-face {
	font-family: 'Quicksand_Bold_Oblique';
	src: url(../fonts/Quicksand_Bold_Oblique.otf);
	font-weight: bold;
	font-style: oblique;
}

What happens instead?
Reverts to the default font if this property is used and set to 'oblique'. If changed to 'normal' or is omitted completely, it works as expected.

Safari 5 behaves the same way as Chrome 5, and their behavior is compliant with the specification:

http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-fonts/#font-matching-algorithm
3.b. ‘font-style’ is tried next. ‘italic’ will be satisfied if there is either a face in the UA's font database labeled with the CSS keyword ‘italic’ (preferred) or ‘oblique’. Otherwise the values must be matched exactly or font-style will fail.

Please feel free to reopen this bug if I miss anything.

Summary: font-style property, when set to 'oblique' with the @font-face declaration reverts to the default font.
