The file's been moved in the WebKit source tree since that URL was
posted. Searching for 'FontMac.mm' in Trac shows that the up to date
URL is
http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/WebCore/platform/graphics/mac/FontMac.mm

You don't want a rotation for that; use a skew transform.
And as a font weenie I am compelled to point out that this is not an
italic font, it's an oblique; and a synthetic oblique at that.
FYI, the 'Lucida Sans' font family, which is all but identical to
Lucida Grande, includes a true italic. It's on every Mac I've used,
but I'm not sure if it's in the base install, or installed as part of
an external package like iWork. It would be worth looking into, as the
real italic looks much nicer than a fake oblique.
