I believe truetype _can_ be rotated already.  I was using Freehand 3.0 at home
and I curved truetype fonts (times) along a path (half circle) and I printed it
via Deskwriter at best mode.  What I saw was a perfectly shaped rendering along
the path.  Therefore I assume that if you have a program that can use both
type and also place the type along an angle then you should be able to print it
out reguardless of orientation.

Please correct me if I'm wrong so I can tell Freehand that its not supposed to
do that (j/k).
