Can anyone help?

I am having a few problems matching the slant of 10pt Slanted Roman characters 
(cmsl10) to that of the 10pt Text Italics (cmti10). 

This is all because I do not like the italic number 4 and I want to replace 
it with a slanted Roman 4 instead, in headers etc. 

I have been experimenting with the \fontdimen parameters, but they appear to 
have no effect. Am I missing the point? 

currently I have set up: 

\font\twelvesl=cmsl10 scaled \magstephalf
\font\twelveit=cmti10 scaled \magstephalf


and I would like the slant of both to be the same, does anyone have any ideas,
I am going quietly mad here!!!!!
