Andrew Watson (see below, from Google Groups) and I had a good laugh over this. Subject: [mg52371] "At long last, Sir, have you no shame?" Original FormatNewsgroups: comp.soft-sys.math.mathematica Saying first that I am a fanatical Mathematica user, in awe of the product and its developers, I nonetheless feel compelled to say that... I am absolutely astonished that Mathematica 4.0 has *still* not fixed the FrameLabel rotated text bug, which prevents vertical axis labels from appearing properly when rendered on screen on the Mac. This bug causes endless troubles for those of us who prepare figures for both printing and live presentation. This bug has been present since time immemorial, but elicits only sheepish chuckles from Wolfram developers when mentioned. What gives? Is this really something that has stumped the greatest computational minds of the end of the millenium? Is it really so low on the list of priorities that it has persisted for 10 years? Have you no shame? Andrew B. Watson NASA Ames Research Center ------------------------------------------------------------------------
