here's my patch to allow 180 degrees rotated text.
I'm not sure what it might break - I tested it in gschem only.
Thanks for the patch, but I don't know if I can accept this patch,
mainly because in the early days, gaf support 180 rotated text (which
if I am not mistaken is upside and going right to left). I changed this
due to popular feedback (to the current behavior which is right side up
and reading left to right).
The only historic mentioning of disabling 180° rotation is

I'm curious, why do you need 180 degree rotated text? Maybe
I was wrong. :-P
Let me put it the other way around: why don't you want it? It's a feature!
If one prefers the text to be readable in a certain sheet layout in 0°
or 90° or 270° he can do so - but precisely what's wrong about 180°?
An example where disabling 180° might break/uglify things could be a
symbol where the author shaped his multiline or whitespaced text around
some drawing. Someone else might need the symbol rotated 180° and -
whoops - parts of the drawing now are in the middle of the text.
And somtimes I feel wild enough to write things upside-down even in the
first place ;)
