I was afraid of that. So how does text fail and presumably other forms are ok? Perhaps when I learn how to print on Linux, I won't care, but for now, Squeak/Pharo's graphics appear to be poorly designed from a device-independence perspective. Text handling is further weak in that it works on characters, not strings, and therefore cannot begin to cope with kerning. Can anti-aliasing be correct if it does not account for rotation relative to the display medium? Given Squeak's claimed focus on multimedia, it is surprisingly weak on such things.

Rotating text?? What is the correct way to do that? I have found ways to rotate forms, but not text. What am I missing?
You can rotate any morph. What's really happening is the morph (in this case a TextMorph) is displayed on a form, which is then rotated.
