In the case of affine transforms you only have to
rasterize a font once. In the case of perspective
transforms, for the same transformation matrix, you
can have different size glyphs. Take the example of
scrolling text à la Star Wars. Even though only one
matrix is in use, and the same font and font-size,
you have glyphs of different sizes depending on
distance.
