#497 — epslatex quirk?

Subjectepslatex quirk?
Message-ID<86sjpsorsr.fsf@aiuole.stru.polimi.it>
i have started using the epslatex, my first plot is OK but...

if i use the path .tex -> latex -> .dvi the y label (rendered by tex) is not
rotated in xdvi

if i use epspdf to convert the eps part and then i use .tex -> pdflatex -> .pdf
the y label is (correctly) rotated by 90 degrees acw

is this the expected behaviour? thanks in advance

Yes, since you're effectively comparing apples and oranges.  XDvi 
doesn't do rotated text, because that relies on TeX \specials which XDvi 
doesn't support.  But that's OK, since that's not what you should be 
comparing to PDF output.  For a fair comparison, run dvips on the .dvi 
output and look at that.
