Re: [Freetype] Strange text rotation problem

[Drew Folta]

I've run into this as well, when using the library directly from C.  It
gave me this behaviour when using FT_Set_Transform(), which appeared to
rotate the baseline once, and the individual glyphs twice.  Try it with
other rotation angles, such as 30 degrees, and you'll see what I mean.
