Are you using a Macintosh? The PostScript interpreter in the 
Mac version is limited. One of the things it cannot do is display 
rotated text. However, this limitation only affects the on-screen 
appearance -- it should print out as you want it on a 
PostScript-capable printer.

I'm not sure if any other machines have this same problem. I 
know that the Windows version can display rotated text on 
screen.
