As far as I know, you have to resort to tricks like embedding PostScript commands to achieve it. The *roff language doesn't have a mechanism for expressing rotation of glyphs, and it is up to the output device to actually draw any font's glyph. > Does anybody have examples of how they achieve this? Tadziu probably does. Here are some past mailing list posts in the neighborhood. https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2003-02/msg00071.html https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2012-01/msg00075.html https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2002-12/msg00109.html The last seems to hold the most promise to me, as a non-expert in this area, but it would require a somewhat kludgey approach of pre-rendering your table (with groff, of course), converting it to EPS, and then including it (rotated) in the document proper.
