Hmm, I tried setting the interpolation back to what it is on the branch, but this doesn't explain it. If you run t = text(0.5, 0.5, 'hi mom', fontsize=20) t.set_rotation(30); draw() and save the results from the trunk and the branch (using agg::image_filter_spline36) on both, it appears (as you say) that the font weight is darker for rotated text, but not for non-rotated text.
