For something of gigglesworth, head over to the Open Font Library and check out these two lolcats by yrs truly. Yes, You Can Has Cheezburger. They do have warts, but at least they aren’t completely borken.

The leaning shared by the two is due to wind or something else? ;-)

(by the way, the presentation of typefaces on the OFL could use some drastic improvements)

That’s what they looked like once I returned to consciousness after attempting a Chuck Norris-style roundkick.

Hmmm… looks like I’ll have to clean up the Preferred Family fields in Ajar. Didn’t notice the crockiness there as I used them on the WWW (Wall-to-Wall-Web) in my bedroom.

Done rewriting the Preferred and MacName fields and uploading the new files.

Oh, and for the record, all I did to get that 3° right lean was to mechanically slant them a bit with FontForge.

skew(3)

as I recall, in the old macro language.

In a grid system it's better to slant by a ratio of integers. For example something close to 3° would be 1/19.

Except I was not thinking of ratios, but of glideslopes. And Eras. Can’t forget Eras.

Hennyways, it works for me, and if it gives someone else… ideas… heh-heh-heh…
