Rotating text

[eb-64-64]

Looking at this code:

commands.spawn_bundle(Text2dBundle {
    text: Text::with_section(
        "Blah",
        TextStyle {
            font,
            font_size: FONT_SIZE,
            color: FONT_COLOR,
        },
        TextAlignment {
            vertical: VerticalAlign::Center,
            horizontal: HorizontalAlign::Center,
        },
    ),
    transform: Transform {
        rotation: Quat::from_rotation_z(std::f32::consts::PI),
        ..Default::default()
    },
    ..Default::default()
});

One would expect the text to be rendered upside-down (that is, flipped 180° or π radians). However, that's not the case. Looking at the source for Text2dBundle, there's a comment that says that the rotation of the Transform is ignored:

Position is determined by the Transform's translation, though scale and rotation are ignored.

Is it possible to render text that is rotated, either with Text2dBundle or some other text entity/bundle?

Edit: this was originally a Discord discussion, see that here.

If I understand correctly your question, I believe there's a bug that was fixed in #2103. This is not yet available in any released version though, will be in the 0.6 I believe.
