It should be fairly simple to put a block of one or more oblique column headings (or any other oblique fixed text) into a page segment, although it seems to me that a bitmap editor, e.g., GIMP, would be a more appropriate tool for that job.

As to sending out reports as Excel spreadsheets, I'd have the same objection to that as I would to sending them out as Numbers spreadsheets: it's a proprietary format.

When I've written invoice-print or quote-print programs for our customers, I use the built-in spool-to-PDF capability (and in all but the earliest ones, from an AFP print file, with page segments and proportional type [and spent many hours, some years ago, generating width tables for a couple of fonts]).
