I'd be surprised as that is rather basic stuff. Wait.
pango_matrix_rotate ()
void
pango_matrix_rotate (PangoMatrix *matrix,
double degrees);
Changes the transformation represented by matrix to be the
transformation given by first rotating by degrees degrees
counter-clockwise then applying the original transformation.
We are linking Pango anyway. Maybe we should convert all our stencil
stuff into native Pango? The unwholesome mess we pass around for path
expressions and convert back and forth is not particularly efficient.
And being all-Pango would make it easier to create more backends. Even
if Pango's own PDF backend is not good enough (for dealing with
metadata, tables of content and similar stuff), the intermediate
representations should still be a good common denominator.
