Hi, I am struggling with an application, written by another, that attempts to rotate fonts for use on the Y label of a plot. It uses the following font names: -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--18-180-75-75-p-98-iso8859-1 (the non-rotated version) -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--0-[+0.0+18.0~18.0+0.0]-75-75-p-0- iso8859-1 (the rotated 90 degree version) In my environment this rotation is not uniformly successful. It works on MS Windows machines running Hummingbird Exceed, but fails for Linux machines using Xorg. Failure here means the font is displayed just not rotated. Xorg is able to rotate a font named utopia, so this is somewhat specific to the font involved. So I have a few questions whose answer would help me progress please: 1. Is there a way to know at run-time whether or not an X-server will actually be able to honor the rotated font request? 2. Is there any documentation/standard for the use of rotated fonts, e.g., the name of the rotated font above is mostly a mystery between the []? 3. I suspect the issue might be a discrepancy between the installed fonts on the two X servers. Suggestions for how to diagnose and fix any such discrepancy? Thanks for your time.
