shifting characters after italicising?

I cannot seem to find the post, but I remember a while ago there was a topic about creating italics and how you need to shift the characters back to the left so they sit correctly within the left and right bearing walls. Someone gave a formula or something similar where by calculating the degree of slant, you could figure out how far left to shift all your characters. Does anyone happen to know what I am talking about, or do I just sound crazy? haha, thanks!

yep, thanks!!!
