  Depending on the font there can indeed be visible differences between
slanted and cursive versions of the same font, especially when put side
by side. While computers will often emulate a cursive font by slanting
it (when there's no cursive version of the font available), a cursive
version of a given font should technically be its own separate font with
its own design (which is not just a slanted version of the original font).
