Well, I experimented a bit and tried:
const CGFloat kRotationForItalicText = -15.0;
NSAffineTransform *italicTransform = [NSAffineTransform transform];
[italicTransform scaleBy:[NSFont
systemFontSizeForControlSize:NSMiniControlSize]];
[italicTransform rotateByDegrees:kRotationForItalicText];
but, the text drawn with the system font created with this transform was not
what I would call very readable. A 15 degree rotation seems to be correct.
If anyone has any suggestions on how best to handle this, I would be interested.
