Most likely Canvas doesn't interpret the rotation picture comments at all.

The proper way to represent rotated text in a picture is to include a bitmap
of the rotated text the appropriate comments and the actual text.
Applications that ignore the comments would still image the bitmap, while
appliations that handle the comments would ignore the bitmap and extract the
text/rotation angle.
