Hi List,<br>
<br>
Rotated (TRUETYPE) Labels are placed differently when they are rotated
TRUETYPE SYMBOLS<br>
<br>
A character in a truetype font library has its own anchor point at the
lowerleft corner<br>
Rotation of a truetype character as a symbol sweeps around this point
it seems to me (causing the placement to be off center)<br>
<img src="cid:part1.08050705.06000800@home.nl" alt=""> <br>
But a TRUETYPE label places the rotated character exactly on the
geometric point, and seems to use the centroid of the character as its
anchorpoint<br>
<br>

<br>
I this a feature or could it be considered "not as expected"<br>
