I have legacy data using points to label contour lines. The points have associated angle information which places the quote on the contour so that it is parallel to the contour line, on top of it, and the top of the numbers point uphill(!). This works well with the old labelling engine, which places labels with e.g. an angle of 180 degrees upside down. The new labelling engine seems to add 180 degrees to angle values over 90 degrees, probably in an attempt to make things more legible. But for my data this is wrong, and I can't recreate the desired effect with the new labelling engine. So unless I'm missing something, this seems to be another issue to make using the new engine problematic (other problems being that the data aren't placed properly, either, and the angle is only honoured after setting x and y coordinate)
