Matrix operations don’t commute. It will never be obvious. So yes, to satisfy specific needs, specific matrix needs to be calculated.

What if one wants to render an italicized glyph which is rotated 90 degrees? Loading glyph via 'FT_Load_Glyph' using rotation matrix, and then calling 'FT_GlyphSlot_Oblique' won't work because the latter will add a slant along the wrong axis.
It would be more convenient if 'FT_GlyphSlot_Oblique' would take the load-time matrix into account. Right now, the only way to achieve the desired result seems to be the calculation of the required matrix in the client code (combining the rotation and italicizing matrices).

I'm closing this now as invalid.  Please feel free to add more information in case it becomes available.

Toshio-san, any comments from the OpenJDK people?

Thank you for the quick replys. I'll report this issue to OpenJDK community.

I also think that everything is fine. Both transformations applied correctly: first reflection then slant. In the mirror world both slanting angle and text direction would appear opposite. Are you sure you want mirror reflection and not rotation by 180 degrees? In the rotated world you would indeed preserve slanting angle and text direction.

Thanks for the report and the code example.

I think what you see is correct behaviour, according to the documentation.  `FT_Set_Transform' only sets the transformation for `FT_Load_Glyph', i.e., creating the data for an `FT_GlyphSlot' object.  However, `FT_GlyphSlot_Oblique' acts on an `FT_GlyphSlot' object; it is thus not controlled by the transformation set up with `FT_Set_Transform'.

Alexei, I'm assigning this issue to you.  Do you think it would be beneficial to change `FT_GlyphSlot_Oblique' to obey `face->internal->transformation_matrix'?  Contrary to `FT_Glyph' objects, `FT_GlyphSLot' has still a connection to its parent face...

When we transformed upside down by FT_Set_Transform() and to set italic style by FT_GlyphSlot_Oblique(), The angle of italic shape is opposite.
It seems transforming upside down is ignored.

This problem occurred with OpenJDK and some conditions (creating PS data with AlphaComposite or Texture)
OpenJDK creates printing image upside down, and characters with italic attribute calls FT_GlyphSlot_Oblique(), then hit this problem.

Attached C++ sample code and the output SVG file.
