The file's been moved in the WebKit source tree since that URL was posted. Searching for 'FontMac.mm' in Trac shows that the up to date URL is

You don't want a rotation for that; use a skew transform.

And as a font weenie I am compelled to point out that this is not an italic font, it's an oblique; and a synthetic oblique at that.

FYI, the 'Lucida Sans' font family, which is all but identical to Lucida Grande, includes a true italic. It's on every Mac I've used, but I'm not sure if it's in the base install, or installed as part of an external package like iWork. It would be worth looking into, as the real italic looks much nicer than a fake oblique.
