Hello, all... I have been using Mathematica for a number of year and have become reasonably proficient with it and familiar with most of its idiosyncracies. I use a Macintosh and, until very recently, was using Mathematica version 4.2 on OS X 10.1.5. One of the idiosyncracies that I'd gotten used to was the Mac front end's inability to properly rotate text on a plot's y-axis, but having it print OK on a Postscript printer. Recently I upgraded my operating system to OS X 10.3.3 and Mathematica to version 5. I was amazed to find that rotated text not only doesn't work right in the front end, but it won't print correctly either on the very same Postscript printers I've been using for a couple of years. Is this really the case or (more likely) am I overlooking something simple? Any suggestions about what I might be doing wrong will be greatly appreciated. ~ Bob Stagat ~
