--- Comment #19 from Johannes Meixner 2011-05-25 08:19:55 UTC ---
Juergen,
since openSUSE 11.4 we have Ghostscript version 9.0
and since that version Ghostscript uses FreeType 2.4.x
as its default font scaler/renderer.
In certain circumstances (probably only for particular fonts)
FreeType2 fails in Ghostscript so that rotated characters
(by 90 and 270 degrees) get wrong scaled - it looks as if
height and width of each character was interchanged.
Via a Ghostscript command line switch FreeType2 in Ghostscript
can be disabled so that Ghostscript uses its traditional
font scaler/renderer which works o.k.
From my point of view the root cause seems to be in FreeType2
but I have no knowledge at all how to debug font related issues.
Therefore I re-assign the bug - at least for now - to you.
