I'm currently converting a large device display program from VAX UIS to
Motif/X Windows. UIS has the ability to draw text at any given angle. X
doesn't. :-(

I specifically need to draw text rotated 90 degrees - I was wondering if
anyone had tackled this problem already. I don't really want to have to
write my own font handling/drawing routine but I think I may have to.

Thanks in advance,
