I DO want to rotate the text. I was just saying that the output I want
is exactly what that code is doing, but rotated by 90 degrees counter
clockwise.

About the rotation, so if I first translate the origin to the center
of the document (point (40, 125) for a 80x250 document, right?) and
then rotate(90) it should do what I am expecting, right?

cheers,
