Hi all

You can rotate map in QGIS composer, but I could not find a working options
in the label tabs to keep labels horizontal while rotating the map. So the
user has to turn the paper page after printing to read labels. What am I
doing wrong ?

As rotating the map directly in the map canvas, could you please tell us
why you need this option ? I can understand you need to rotate it in pdf to
let the shapes fit in the constrained size, but in QGIS map canvas (screen)
you are always able to zoom, pan, etc.
