Hello Ken,

Just to make my point clear: I believe that original question was
about rotation of content to the angle less then 90 degrees but more
then 0 degrees. Since in XSL-FO reference and glyph orientation values
restricted to 0, +/-90, +/-180, +/-270 degrees the only feasible
option is to use SVG because it provides desired functionality.

Best regards,
