Do we have any back inclined Italics Font? Just the opposite of the forward inclined Italics?

If you absolutely want to use something like this and you can use XeTeX or LuaTeX to compile your document, you can fake it for any font you like:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\begin{document}
\fontspec[FakeSlant=-0.5]{Georgia Italic} hello?
\end{document}
I'm not sure if you'd call the output attractive, exactly:

Here is fake slant in pdfTeX. I use CMU10 (an upright italic font in Computer Modern) here:
\documentclass{article}
% redefine font mapping with fake slant
\pdfmapline{cmu10 CMU10 " -0.2 SlantFont " <cmu10.pfb}
\begin{document}
\usefont{OT1}{cmr}{m}{ui}
\Huge Slant?
\end{document}
It also works for LuaTeX.
And this version for DVIPDFMx:
\documentclass{article}
% redefine font mapping with fake slant
\special{pdf:mapline cmu10 -r -s -0.167}
\begin{document}
\usefont{OT1}{cmr}{m}{ui}
\Huge Slant?
\end{document}
It also works for XeTeX.

Computer Modern Funny (cmfr family) is one of this kind of font. cf:
