The documentation for the otmItalicAngle member of the OUTLINETEXTMETRIC structure states that the angle is in degrees. This is incorrect. The angle is in tenths of a degree.

Therefore, the full definition of this member should resemble the following:

Specifies the main italic angle of the font, in counterclockwise 1/10 degrees from vertical. Regular (roman) fonts have a value of zero. Italic fonts typically have a negative italic angle (that is, they lean to the right).

For example, a font with an otmItalicAngle of -120 would lean 12 degrees to the right.
