However, rotation alone doesn't do it; in particular, it worsens the bottom of the glyph: IMHO, the bottommost horizontal tangent must touch the outline exactly where it is now. Due to rotation, it moves to the right, causing an imbalanced look for me. This essentially means that you have to modify the METAFONT code to get what you suggest. Werner
