Meaning of NSFont italicAngle?

Hi all,

I would like to know the true meaning of italicAngle for a NSFont. The doc says:

- (float)italicAngle Returns the receiver’s italic angle, the amount that the font is slanted in degrees clockwise from the vertical, as read from its AFM file.

but this is probably wrong, as for Times-Italic or Helvetica-Italic, it returns -1.5 or -1.2. Since this is negative, it is a counterclockwise angle. And 1.5 degree is a very small angle, so it's probably not that (but in radians, it's too much!). Could it be the tangent of the angle?

Thanks,

Thomas Lachand-Robert
