You can transform a font independently of the Graphics2D transform by
sending Font.deriveFont(AffineTransform t) to the original font object. So
if you derive a flipped, non-scaled font using something like
Font invertedFont =
originalFont.deriveFont(AffineTransform.getScaleInstance(1.0, -1.0));
and draw the text using invertedFont, it should all come out in the wash.
As an example, putting this in the paint() of your window illustrates the
kind of thing:
// Use a big font
g.setFont(new Font("Serif", 0, 24));
// Flip coordinates so (0,0) is bottom left
g.scale(1.0, -1.0);
g.translate(0, -this.getHeight());
// Draw the first, now upside down string
g.drawString("String Number One", 50, 50);
// Invert the font making in the right way up again
g.setFont(g.getFont().deriveFont(AffineTransform.getScaleInstance(1.0, -1.0)
));
g.drawString("String Number Two", 50, 50);
See you later, sport...
