On the trunk, it appears that font anti-aliasing is turned off on
rotated text, as in this example:

n [26]: import datetime

In [27]: dt = datetime.date.today()

In [28]: dates = [dt-datetime.timedelta(days=i) for i in range(10)]

In [29]: plot(dates, range(10))
Out[29]: [<matplotlib.lines.Line2D object at 0x98f96ac>]

# after rotation the fonts are pixelated
In [34]: gcf().autofmt_xdate ()

In [35]: draw()
