Text Boxes At an Angle?

[jjhunter]

Hello hello. I was creating a banner last night for the Poetry Friending Meme I'm hosting over at jjhunter & was struggling mightily in terms of displaying text boxes (and the text inside) at an angle. What I ended up with is skewed text for the words 'poetry' and 'meme' using the 'Shear' tool:

Is there any way simply to rotate a text at an angle without skewing it?

ETA: Second take.



ETA2: apologies for excessive linking on the earlier version of this post - thank you to jana for the reminder about comm rules re: advertising without permission. And thank you everyone else for the assistance -- I'm much happier with the modified image.

With the new year, I've taken the opportunity to update the community guidelines; from now on, anyone can create and add tags when posting here. This makes it hopefully a bit easier for everyone to tag their posts with appropriate tags, but please take a look at the existing tags before creating a new one. Also, administrators and moderators - just me at the moment - reserve the right to rename, merge and remove tags whenever deemed necessary.

Welcome also to all the new members and subscribers who joined this community in the last couple of weeks. Users of all levels and experience are welcome here, so ask/post away if you have any questions and please take a moment to read the community guidelines. You might also want to fill out the poll I posted a while ago which is intended to be a community resource, a reflection of the community's 'mind & skill state' so to speak. Useful resources, tips and tricks can be found via the community's tag list and link collection.

Feel free to say 'Hi' in the comments if you're new here and also feel free to share any resources etc. you think could be useful for others :)
