I am trying to rotate text on Win ME. I created a frame & added to it a JPanel
with bounds (0,0,50,200). I overrode the JPanel's paintComponent as follows:

public void paintComponent (Graphics g) {
  Graphics2D g2D = (Graphics2D)g;
  g2D.translate(0,getHeight());
  g2D.rotate(-Math.PI/2); // vertical rotation
  g2D.drawString("Nasser",2,20);
}

This code works fine on Win 2K, NT, 98.
On Win ME, it only shows the 1st character rotated (N).

I installed the latest version of DirectX (version 8.0) on Win ME & still
got the same problem. I even disabled the DirectDraw from System
Information - DirectX Diagnostic tool with no luck. As of the graphic
configuration of the system, there is no special settings that I am aware
of. By the way, I tested the same code on different machines running Win ME
& I got the same problem.
