I was envisioning simply rotating the entire text expression by rotating the ft2font pixel buffer. Agg could do this and still preserve subpixel effects, but we would need to expose a little code (presumably in the agg SWIG module). One couldn't rotate individual glyphs in a larger expression this way, but by far the most common use case is to rotate the entire expression so this limitation doesn't concern me much. > All this will be affected by John's proposed refactoring of the > backends, of course, which has kind of kept me off of it in a "wait and > see" kind of mode. Right now, each backend has a custom interface to The rest of my life has intervened a bit here and I hope to return to the refactoring soon, but I don't think it should hold you up. Despite my initial revolutionary fervor, I have tempered a bit, and favor a more integrationist approach than espoused in some of my original emails on mpl1. So if you have an approach that will improve the backend mathtext handling, by all means go for it and we will incorporate this into further revisions.
