Hi,

I noticed that there is a difference when I print rotated text under windows 2000 or under the earlier windows versions.
I set the rotation by assigning the same angle to lfOrientation and lfEscapement in the LOGFONT structure.
I noticed that in W2k rotation is positive for Clockwise, and in 98 it is the other way around.
This is only the case when I print to paper, not when I display the text on screen.

Does anyone have an idea what could be the reason?
Is this behaviour the result of a certain setting, or is this standard?

I have a work-around now by checking the Windows version and then reversing the angle if needed, but that feels a bit funny
