The reason seems to be that the font 
(http://mirrors.ctan.org/fonts/erewhon/opentype/Erewhon-RegularSlanted.otf) 
identifies as a ‘RegularSlanted’ font:

$ otfinfo --info Erewhon-RegularSlanted.otf | fgrep Subfamily
Subfamily:           RegularSlanted

If I change the subfamily (using FontForge) to ‘Oblique’ in the font 
file, I get the correct translation of ’oblique’ in the KDE Font Viewer.

If I change the subfamily to just ‘Slanted’ in the font file, KDE Font 
Viewer says the font is an ‘italics’ (but translated into my language).

A Google search of ‘RegularSlanted’ indicates that this is the only font 
using stating that it’s in the ‘RegularSlanted’ subfamily, so I think 
this should be considered a bug in the font file. The subfamily should 
be changed to ‘Oblique’.
