sCharSlope (SHORT)

      Character slope.

      Defines the nominal slope for the characters of a font. The slope is defined in degrees increasing clockwise from the vertical. An italic font is an example of a font with a nonzero slope.

      Note: The units for this metric are degrees and minutes, encoded as shown in the following example:

      180 degrees 59 minutes would be represented as :
      
      ³   < byte 1  > ³   < byte 2   >  ³
      
      ³ ³ < Minutes > ³   < Degrees >   ³
