So I've seen italics text in Scratch Projects (if you don't know what I'm talking about, look at the text in Za-Chary's project Break Dancing. where the text is slanted towards the right to make some sort of “italics” effect. However, I don't know how to do it myself (I've tried doing this trick using the reshape tool but it didn't work, maybe I'm just not doing it correctly), and it would be really helpful if you showed me how to do it. Thanks for taking the time to read this!

Basically what I do is (1) type text normally, (2) rotate the text in the costume editor, (3) stretch it out horizontally, (4) rotate it back so the text lays flat. It takes some practice to get some reasonable-looking italics, but at the same time, you can use these stretching tools to make all kinds of wacky fonts.
