Hi Hans,
thanks for the help. I had to enclose the symbol definition part in
curly brackets:
\definesymbol[whatever][{\dontleavehmode\rotate[rotation=180]{\getglyph{ZapfDingbats}{234}}}]
Now the symbol is rotated without causing a new line. Yet, the rotated
symbol appears below the current line:
text text -> text
<-
Is there a possibility to specifiy the center of rotation?
Thanks again,
--Stefan
