Description
TRANSFORM never has done what it declared itself to do.  For quite some time, new Font(Map) has interpreted the TRANSFORM attribute as applying to the entire Font, so that not only the individual characters but their advances as well were transformed, resulting, for example, in a rotated baseline if the TRANSFORM had a rotation.  Since this is the defacto meaning of TRANSFORM when applied to a font, we should just go with it, but we should provide a new Attribute for the original behavior.
