Skew
The Skew option applies a slant to the image. Negative
values slant the character to the right, positive values to the
left. Vertical skewing can be used to create oblique
characters (sort of a “fake” italic). Italics are normally
skewed vertically by -12 degrees.
You access the Skew transformation pop-up menu via the
Transform menu or by double-clicking on the Skew tool in
the tool palette.
To skew selected characters:
1. Choose the Skew transformation pop-up menu.
2. Enter a skew value in either the horizontal or
vertical text box.
3. Click “Transform.”
Multiple transformations
There are times when you’ll probably want to do more than
one transformation at once. Fontographer lets you apply up
to four transformations (at one time) to one character, or
