As a geologist too, I agry with Ravi.
1) regarding Ravi's fist point, I have some geological
font sets which I made and used in other software
(Arcview and FGIS). I can give to the JUMP comunity if
 require (fonts could be tranfered to verticles
symbols)
2)  Ravi's point 2 is quite difficult, I image.
Arcview has a sort of "rotation" according to an
attribute value. Forestry Gis (FGIS) required a long,
boring, script configuration. 
Nevertheless a "rotate symbol according to" is
probabily what geologist users basically expect from a
GIS editor since we work with many point datas.
If there are other geologists on this discussion list
it would be interesting to know their opinion.
