This seems to be a common problem with GIS labelling engines. They always assume you want the text the right way up even if its supposed to rotated the "wrong" way up. MapInfo does this, as does ArcGIS - The Maplex engine for ArcGIS does have an option allowing you over-ride this (disanled by default), but as best I can tell, short of using Maplex, none of these three packages allows you to override this "feature" .
