Good morning everyone. Wonder if anyone has an answer to this?

I have a website I am doing where there is a very simple 3 field form asking for; NAME, EMAIL, MESSAGE. It works fine…but in the design I have…I have actually angled the whole form by 3 degrees. So, now when you try to fill out the form…there’s no text that appears when you type!!!

Is there any way to fix this? Putting the form straight would just throw off the asthetics of the whole design. It needs that little angle.

Please help!! :puzzled:

In my experience you can’t do any transformations with device fonts, you’ll have to embed the font.
