[iText-questions] Problems with rotated text

[Christian Lauer]

Hi Paulo,

I guess this is one for you.

Since version 1.2.1 there seems to be a bug in the PDF Graphics2D
implementation. As you can see in the attached documents, the version
created with 1.1.4 renders rotated texts perfectly while 1.2.1
vertically squeezes the rotated text.

Is this a bug?

Regards,
Christian
