Hello,

I am working on some code that will require rotating, reflecting,
and scaling text for drawings.  Rotations of 90, 180, and 270 degrees
are required, arbitrary rotation angles are desired.  There are no
specific font requirements, so vector text is OK, but arbitrary
font support is desired.  I would like to know if anyone has done 
rotated (and/or reflected) text with X.  If so, how fast is it?
Any special fonts, etc?  Any hints or suggestions as to how this
might be done and how to make it fast would be appreciated.  Any
sample code would be greatly appreciated.
