And the rendering code already works for any-angle rotation..

BUT:

As Peter mentioned, you still need to disable to code to flip 180 degree
rotated text back upright.

grep for "180" in the files:

libgeda/src/o_text_basic.c
gschem/src/o_text.c

There might be other places too, such as the text editing dialogues, but
I'm not certain.
