This one is really puzzling to me. I'm doing what I thought was  
correct, i.e. the text transform matrix is the product of a rotation  
(r) and shear (s) matrix.

[xf] = [ c(r) s(r)][1 t(s)][xo]
[yf]    [-s(r) c(r)][0    1][yo]

This does not change the height of the characters as measured  
perpendicular to the text baseline. I also tried using a transform  
that would preserve the height as measured parallel to the vertical  
axis of the characters after shearing, but that definitely looks wrong.
