synthslant – Synthetically slant text
This package allows to slant (shear
) short pieces
of text to the left or to the right by an arbitrary
angle, thus creating for example fake italics
or
upright italics.
Several back-ends that do the actual shearing are supported, though currently the pdfLaTeX back-end works best concerning output quality and processing speed.
