  Do remember that the final arbitrer of everything you do in PostScript is
whether or not it _looks_ good.  Precision doesn't matter.  If I were you I
would have skipped posting this particular request, and just gone and hacked
at it (using different degrees of de-slant) until I got it _looking_ good.
Matter of fact, I may go do just that...
