Not sure what it would look like to reworking this - starting with text upside down? :). If many characters end up upside down then the whole string is flipped and attempted to be rendered again going the opposite direction. This flipping is easy to turn off but I'm not sure it will get you what you want, so maybe I need a bit more detail.\r\n\r\nI will attach a patch to turn off flipping and some sample result images.","updated_at":"2011-10-11T16:29:26Z","url":"https://api.github.com/repos/artemp/mapnik/issues/comments/2367322","id":2367322,"user":{"avatar_url":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/941f68386168a8a6b60f2529a7830af7?d=https://a248.e.akamai.net/assets.github.com%2Fimages%2Fgravatars%2Fgravatar-140.png","url":"https://api.github.com/users/artemp","id":59056,"login":"artemp"}},"action":"created","issue":{"number":614,"created_at":"2011-10-11T16:29:25Z","pull_request":{"diff_url":null,"patch_url":null,"html_url":null},"body":"Symbolizers that place text on lines attempt to place the majority of the characters right side up.
