Re: gEDA-user: gschem usage: rotate symbol, leave text alone

[Denis Grelich <denisg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Good day,

is it intended that text is rotated in such a way that you have to turn
your head right (i.e. reading from top to bottom). AFAIK all standards
concerning texts (e.g. DIN 406) in technical drawings demand that text
is never to align in such a way and that text must always be readable
either from the bottom or from the right hand side.

Greetings,
Denis Grelich
