There is a bug in the (PostScript) DeviceInitialization string in the
file /usr/athena/lib/scribe/database/accent.lib.
Line 251 should read:
{SSZ 0.0 SLT sin SLT cos div SSZ mul SSZ neg 0.0 0.0 FMTX astore}
Not
{SSZ 0.0 SLT sin SLT cos div SSZ mul SSZ 0.0 0.0 FMTX astore}
The absence of the "neg" screws up the slanting of characters.
Comparison of the DeviceInitialization String in postsc.dev will show
that the first line is indeed the correct one.
