I have an application in which it would be nice to have
text strings at a 45 degree angle.  Is there anything out
there to help me do such a thing?  I am currently putting
out one character at a time along an angle.  This, of
course still does not change individual characters.  The
only way that I can think of to do this would be to build
a new font with slanted characters.  This would still
require some type of alogorithm to successfully place each
character along a line.

Any ideas?
