Description Jussi Eloranta 2008-05-27 16:45:03 UTC 
Description of problem:

Export the attached open office drawing (with oodraw) to EPS. The first letters
in the axis labels are somehow rotated by 90 degrees. On the screen and in the
preview these letters are not rotated. You can verify this by doing gv
(ghostview) on the resulting eps file.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

openoffice.org-draw.i386                 1:2.4.0-12.8.fc9       installed

how it looks for me

Looks very whacked to me :-(, clearly something wrong. Maybe simply with italic
vertical characters
Comment 3 Caolan McNamara 2008-05-31 15:15:14 UTC 
sigh, try

export SAL_DISABLE_CAIROTEXT=1

and that will likely work

cairo must rotate the glyph for rendering is some fashion that leaves the slot
rotated when we attempt to get an unrotated outline from it at a later stage
Comment 4 Caolan McNamara 2008-06-03 12:10:58 UTC 
cairo sets a glyph transform so we need to unset it if we want to get unrotated
glyph outlines, will be in >= openoffice.org-2.4.1-17.2 for next F9 update
Comment 5 Jussi Eloranta 2008-06-06 16:11:39 UTC 
Yes, setting SAL_DISABLE_CAIROTEXT to 1 solves the problem.
