GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 173095
Rotated text
Last modified: 2005-05-25 15:21:08 UTC
Suppose we have a layout that looks like this... This is a long text ...and rotate it +45 degrees. We get [hope you have fixed-width font]: a . t s x i e . t s . i g h n T o l (Space replaced by "." for clarity.) Notice that the second line starts lower than the first. What would one do to get... a t . x s e i y . . s g i n h o T l ... i.e., have a flush bottom? (This is what Excel does and it does seem to have its uses.) Tricks, hacks, and work-arounds welcome.
Well, you can draw the lines of a layout wherever you want. What else would you want from Pango?
Ok, never mind.
