I think that rotated *and* hinted text doesn't exist except for
trivial rotations by multiples of 90 degrees.  Ditto for subpixel
quality which relies on physical screen properties which also have
either vertical or horizontal orientation.

*Theoretically* it is possible for TT hints to handle hints for
rotated glyphs, IIRC, but I have never seen such a thing.
