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 :
      
      │   < byte 1  > │   < byte 2   >  │
      
      │ │ < Minutes > │   < Degrees >   │
      
      │0│1 1 1 0 1 1  │0 1 0 1 1 0 1 0 0│
      
        │  59 min     │   180 degrees   │
