For PNG image support you can load either the Img package which gives 
support for a large variety of images, or the smaller tkpng package. 
After loading these, Tk 8.5 will accept PNG as in 8.6. For angled text 
it's right, I don't know, there used to be some hacks before, it's 
probably not possible in a clean way. Glad to see, that you are pushing 
the adoption of 8.6 ;) (I'm a Tcl-guy)
