    Chris Spiel submitted the

    synthslant

    package.

    Version: 0.1 2024-05-07
    License: lppl1.3c

    Summary description: Synthetically slant text

    Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Package synthslant allows to slant ("shear") short pieces of text
    to the left or to the right by an arbitrary angle, thus creating
    for example "fake italics" or upright italics.

    Several back-ends that do the actual shearing are supported,
    though currently the PDFLaTeX back-end works best concerning
    output quality and processing speed.
