inkscape V 0.46. I did it via saving directly from your link,
and via saving through the browser, with identical results.

Ok, so I'll go for this. It isn't as easy as I thought, because I cannot
just rotate the whole picture, because the path is too complex for metafont.
So I'll have to transform every point and draw thereafter. It seems to 
work, but
I  have to change some explicit drawing angles accordingly and bring it into
a less hackish form - but I think this will come next year ;-)
