Re: [Gnash-dev] flash swf italic

[Zhonghua Zhu]

After some research, I figured out that italic version of a font can
be done by matrix if I don't have a italic version of that font on my
system.
Like the following:

// italic
float lean = 0.5f;
FT_Matrix matrix;
matrix.xx = 0x10000L;
matrix.xy = 0x10000L*lean;
matrix.yx = 0;
matrix.yy = 0x10000L;
FT_Set_Transform(face, &matrix, 0);

Does gnash need this? Maybe I can create a patch about it.

This is the SWF. The text is in Simplified Chinese.
