I'm using SDL_TTF library to display characters with italic effect.
With TTF_STYLE_ITALIC set, the characters displayed are always skewed to the right.

I would be grateful if characters can be displayed with the following italic effects:
1. Italic characters skewed to the left.
2. Italic characters skewed upwards or downwards, which has the effect of the Asian characters in this website, http://koji.ec/italics-in-vertical/.

BTW, having "Italic characters skewed to the left." is an easy patch by setting a negative value to "shear.xy" (code applying italics style).
