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
Created attachment 306794 [details] oodraw example that shows the problem
Created attachment 306820 [details] how it looks for me Looks very whacked to me :-(, clearly something wrong. Maybe simply with italic vertical characters
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
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
Yes, setting SAL_DISABLE_CAIROTEXT to 1 solves the problem.
