You can rotate a subglyph by setting the WE_HAVE_A_2X2 flag, see
`TT_Load_Composite_Glyph'. The transformation matrix gets then
applied in function `TT_Process_Composite_Component'

The subglyph itself gets scaled/rotated, then the offset gets
applied (scaled if the SCALED_COMPONENT_OFFSET flag is set).

Certainly, since it is part of the TrueType specification.
