Chris Spiel submitted the

synthslant

package.

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.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
