### FONTMETRICS Field - sCharSlope

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   |
