	The following program demonstrates that the show
operator doesn't properly space rotated text when given a character
string with more than a single character:

	/Times-Bold findfont
	30 scalefont setfont
	200 200 moveto
	90 rotate
	(Hello) show

Both the 'e' and 'o' characters overwrite the 'H'. If the show
command is given only a single character to display:

	(H) show
	(e) show
	(l) show
	(l) show
	(o) show

it works fine.
