    I would say that the second-most common reason for wanting
    90 degree rotation of text is for printing hardcopy output
    in landscape mode.  Perhaps implementing that soon would
    satisfy 1.9999% of the people who didn't want rotated
    text for labeling x,y data graphs.

WITH-OUTPUT-TO-POSTSCRIPT-STREAM takes a :ORIENTATION keyword in CLIM 1.1.

But note that you are referring to rotation of *text graphics* (DRAW-TEXT),
which is not the same thing as stream text output (WRITE-STRING).  If you
want landscape output for pure textual output, that is the function of your
text formatter or print spooler.
