Bug Description

hi everyone,

to my great surprise I discovered that with Inkscape 0.48.4 r9939, the text contained in .eps is no longer saved in the somehow scrabbled way but in clear text so it can again be replaced by the LaTeX function psfrag. Great!
However, when doing so, the vertical orientation of the text is inverted. No problem for horizontal text but whenever you replace some text which is vertical or somehow inclined.
I attached a pdf file created with Lyx where you can see the effect.

Please let me know what you think of that - am I missing something, am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

thanks,
tim

Could you please attach the original SVG used for the test case, and provide 'Steps to reproduce' for how to arrive at fonttest.pdf?

here's the original .svg
just found out that if the orientation tag in the eps is changed manually from something like:
0 12.8 -12.8 0 13.014832 75.269035 Tm
to
0 -12.8 12.8 0 13.014832 75.269035 Tm
it's correctly replaced but looks wrong in the eps before the replacement, so I guess the problem is on the psfrag side...
