Handwriting slants up

[mattlevine32]

Thanks for making this project - it's super useful and well documented.

I've noticed that the generated handwriting tends to slant as opposed to being written flat on a line like how https://www.calligrapher.ai/ does it.

Do you have any ideas on how to solve for this?

I see what you mean. One approach is to find a principal direction of a slant and measure its slope. Then, one could construct a simple rotation matrix and use it to transform the coordinates of all points. This method should address most simple cases where the handwriting has a consistent slant.

The problem is that the slant can vary within the same sentence. For example, this algorithm will fail If the text goes up and down.
