GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 352777
rotated text drawn badly
Last modified: 2007-03-17 01:16:00 UTC
The keyboard layout widget does some manual manipulation with the pango layout for rotated text which cause the text to come out badly, with some staircase effect.

Sergey, does this look ok to you?
Well, IIRC Pango antialiazes the text - and I would like to keep the text rotated. Matthias, could you please provide some ugly screenshot?

Ok, now it makes sense to me. The only problem is that I cannot verify it now - Ubuntu's X are broken in regard to XGetKeyboard. But once I get it back - I'll apply your patch, thanks.
It seems the text is correctly rotated now. I am closing this bug. If it is still not ok with you - feel free to reopen and blame me.
