Why do both Windows and FreeType "faux italic" tilt the font too much for my liking? And why is the "point of zero tilt" at the baseline rather than 25-50% of the way up? This makes faux-italic text appear to be too far to the right. I feel like changing these 2 would make faux italic much less obtrusive.
