David,

If you add the options ImageSize ->180, you get something very similar to
the Neat Example.
Rescaling the graphics with the mouse does the same.

I think that in the documentation notebooks, graphics are by default
rendered to a smaller image size than in a standard notebook.
The size of the 'Q' is determined by the number of 'printer' point, in casu
87.5.

Here is a statement copied out of the Neat Example from the
RotationTransform documentation.

Graphics[Table[GeometricTransformation[Style[Text
["Q"],87.5],RotationTransform[a,{0,1}]],{a,Pi/5
Range[10]}]]

When this is evaluated in the documentation notebook one picture is
obtained. But when it is copied and evaluated in a fresh Default notebook,
an  entirely different picture is obtained, with the Q characters quite
separated.

Can anyone explain this strange result?
