You can get most of the way to an oblique sans serif font 
programmatically (pfaedit will even do it for you) but an 
italicized serif font is really a different face altogether.  I 
can totally understand why we don't have one.

For what it's worth, last I checked, Tahoma (one of the most 
widely used sans serif fonts out there courtesy of MS) doesn't 
even come with an oblique version, so it's not exactly a problem 
unique to Linux.
