Set Text Obliquing Angle - Autodesk 057B1-41A111-1001 - AutoCAD LT 2010 User Manual

TrueType Fonts
For TrueType fonts, the value specified for text height represents the height
of a capital letter plus an ascent area reserved for accent marks and other marks
used in non-English languages. The relative portion of text height that is
assigned to capital letters and ascent characters is determined by the font
designer at the time the font is designed; consequently, it varies from font to
font.
In addition to the height of a capital letter and the ascent area that make up
the text height specified by the user, TrueType fonts have a descent area for
portions of characters that extend below the text insertion line, for example,
y, j, p, g, and q.
When you apply a text height override to all text in the editor, the entire
multiline text object is scaled, including its width.

Set Text Obliquing Angle

The obliquing angle determines the forward or backward slant of the text.
The angle represents the offset from 90 degrees.
Entering a value between -85 and 85 makes the text oblique. A positive
obliquing angle slants text to the right. A negative obliquing angle slants text
to the left.
