Fourth on the left zoomed in. I'm not seeing an over rotation here (in
the clockwise direction). Some notes though, the last "t" character
looks a little shorter than the first "t". This makes it look like
it's a bit over rotated. Maybe trying the test with a same Character
all the way along the line. The three Letters in the word "label" are
all taller than the whole last word, which I think is also contributing
to the over-rotational perception.<br>

Thomas, <br>
<br>
Thank you. Your test image actually shows the issue I was mentioning.
Look at the left column, 4th and 7th image down. It looks like the gap
between the bottom of the text at the start of the label is farther
from the dark edge of the line than it is at the end of the label. This
would indicate the label is rotated fractionally too much in the
clockwise direction. <br>
<br>
Some possibilities are: <br>
<br>
1) it is rotated slightly off, rounding issue? other? <br>
2) the jitter in the individual character placement is causing this <br>
3) it is an optical illusion <br>
4) it has something to do with the font being used <br>
5) something else totally <br>
<br>
If I look at Google maps, I do not notice this effect and I have had a
few separate clients notice this and ask about it, hence my inquiry. <br>
<br>
Thank you for taking your time to looks into this. <br>
<br>
Best regards, <br>

I have noticed that labels in a google style symbology that follow a <br>
straight line segment at approximately 45 degrees upper left to lower <br>
right and slightly off being aligned with the street. <br>
<br>
It is just enough to be annoying once you notice it. <br>
<br>
Have you noticed this? <br>
Can this be fixed? <br>
<br>
Thanks in advance, <br>
