So I want to make a box/drawer that has an angle on one end. As I see it I need to make a jig to cut the box joint fingers? Seem to me that if I cut them square and then angle them I'll have gaps on the outside of one side and on the inside of the other.
Could I relieve the inside of the front of the box and accomplish a successful looking job without making a dedicated jig for this?
Also it looks like the end with the angle will have to have longer/deeper fingers than the square end. Is this right?

I found these two. In the first I can see how a 45degree works but I'm cutting a 32degree angle. In the second I wouldn't think it is more that a 15degree angle but that said, I had a similar idea but wanted to find or ask for other opinions.
