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]).
