From you comments above, I am guessing you are using Mathematica on a Mac. There is a well known (amoung Mac users of Mathematica) bug with respect to rendering of rotated text in Mathematica on Macs. On screen, the letters retain their vertical orientation with the only the placement of each letter being along the desired line. However, the printed output is what is desired.
There are a variety of work arounds for this problem. But all the work arounds I know of involve editing the graphic outside of Mathematica, clearly a situation that is less than optimum.
