Ok, let me try it again. During the weekend I played a bit with
TikZ. So my question changes to ...

When pdfLaTeXing the following example the text isn't transformed.
Of course I can achieve this manually with xslant and yslant, but
this is far from being elegant. I'm quite sure that there is a
better way. What do I have to do?

Greetings,
