In this thread, does rotate mean multiples of 90 degrees? In that case, there
are no aliasing problems.

I have rotated ascii pics by _any_ angle and ran into aliasing problems, even
at a font size of 12 points. I have been able to solve these problems by using
anti-aliasing at a font size of 18 points. For examples, look at my website
(URL is in my sig) in the sections "The Stylesteins" and "The Shocksteins"
