Problem

Solutions: Slant Adjust is the percentage of the total point size that the top of the capital characters are shifted from the upright position. A number with a positive value will move the character to the right, and in reverse, a negative amount will move it to the left. With the use of Slant Adjust, customers can alter the position of diacriticals over an italic character. Slant adjust is found in the PTR program under Typefaces (Shift-F6) and Proportions. When making such adjustments, the user should be sure to mark the "Diacritics Are Not Already Adjusted" option in Italics Question under Miscellaneous Questions (Fonts, Miscellaneous Questions, Italics). If the user's printer manual gives the angle of the slant in degrees, they can calculate the percentage by taking the tangent of the angle.
