epstopdf rotating issue

Another post more for my own benefit and future reference.

epstopdf often rotates figures that you'd prefer it didn't. That's ghostscript getting a bit eager. The following kludge will fix it:

export GS_OPTIONS=-dAutoRotatePages=/None

before running epstopdf as usual.

Edit:

Or
export GS_OPTIONS="-dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress -dAutoRotatePages=/None"
to embed fonts as well...
