# SynthSlant – Synthetic slanting of glyphs
LaTeX package `synthslant` slants short pieces of text to the right or to the left.
## Installation
The minimally necessary files to install synthslant are *synthslant.ins* and *synthslant.dtx*.
Running LaTeX on *synthslant.ins* in particular produces *synthslant.sty*:
latex synthslant.ins
After extraction from *synthslant.dtx* place *synthslant.sty* in a directory mentioned in your
TEXINPUTS paths or copy it into one of the directories for your LaTeX installation's *sty*-files
and run **mktexlsr** or equivalent.
To build the documentation it is easier to use the GNU *Makefile*:
make
LuaLaTeX users will want to override the default LaTeX command **pdflatex** with **lualatex** by
saying
make LATEX=lualatex
To construct the manual *synthslant.pdf* a working [MetaPost](https://tug.org/metapost.html)
installation is required. Moreover, besides the usual POSIX utilities
[**base64**](https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/base64-invocation.html) is
needed to recover the graphics file stored as printable ASCII characters inside of
*synthslant.dtx*. Cautious users can run
make tool-check
ahead to verify that the required utilities are installed and working.
For an overview over the most important *Makefile* targets use
make help
## Usage
Load the package with the usual incantation
\usepackage{synthslant}
See Section 2 of the package documentation for available options.
