Transformation of Fonts

Transformation of Type 1 fonts is generally accomplished by means of concatenating so-called transformation matrices. For example, rotation is equivalent to concatenation of the standard transformation matrix with a special matrix whose elements are trigonometric functions evaluated at the rotation angle. In the sense of t1lib, we distinguish between fontlevel transformations and characterlevel transformations.
