[Bug 12402] New: Reversed printing of vertical text using wineps.drv

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12402

Summary: Reversed printing of vertical text using wineps.drv
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.58.
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wineps.drv
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

I am using with wine a custom-made program for windows which can produce a
page-like output for printing. I use the 'wineps printer using CUPS' for
generating postscript. This works, except one feature: whenever the page to be
printed contains vertical text from bottom to top, that one will print starting
at the right place but from top to bottom.

(If the text is a single letter, it is easy to correct in the output postscript
file-the lines
900 10 div matrix rotate
 can be changed to
900 3.333 div matrix rotate
 which fixes the problem. However, this simple trick will not work for a longer
text.)

The program is custom-made under Virtual Pascal, and the text is printed here
using the function CreateFontIndirect. For the screen, it is called 
with lfEscapement=900; however, for printing, this has to be set to -900
because of reverse y coordinates. It seems that wine is not in line with this
convention of Windows...

Please add the Program to the AppDB.
Is a Download-URL available?

Sorry, adding to the AppDB is not possible, since the application is not
public domain. However, I am attaching a saving-disabled (demo) version which
should be useful for testing.
 1. Launch the exe file
 2. Open the file .ts1
 3. Print the page to any printer /file.

This will work correctly under Windows but not with wine.

Please don't attach stuff you don't own the copyright to.

Bugzilla admins, please delete this file.

You can add non downloadable programs to the AppDB. Someone else may have the
program and want to run it under wine.

Surely it is possible to add a prog to the AppDB even if there are literally
only a couple of users, as it is the case here, but I see no point in it. The
aim here is to trace and remove a maybe minor but quite probably general bug,
that is why I have attached the crippled version for testing. Now, I am ready
to send this zip for anybody for debugging purposes.

Is this still an issue in current (1.1.8 or newer) wine?

Yes. I have checked that the vertical printing still does not work correctly
with wine 1.1.8. FK

Is this still an issue in current (1.1.21 or newer) wine?

Yes, in wine-1.1.21 the problem still persists. In the meantime, I have a
workaround which can be activated in the Windows executable specially to
circumvent it. However, to my mind, the driver still does not work properly for
a code written according to Windows specifications.

This is your friendly reminder that there has been no bug activity for 6
months. Is this still an issue in current (1.1.33 or newer) wine?

... with current git, or in Wine 1.1.34, when it is released.

I can confirm this bug with latest Wine version 1.1.44.
It happens to me with "BILD Steuer", a german tax declaration software.
It happens with printing of the form pages: the master document is rendered
correctly, but the text in the formular is put upside-down.

It sounds like this is the same bug as found in Family Historian bug #25685
