Hello,
I just found that using the text tool from the left ortho view make mirrored text? Why its always on the green axis direction?
Im matching bitmap text from an image, do I need to manually rotate every text I input?

Hi DesuDeus, Text is set up to always match the construction plane of the viewport that you clicked in, so that's why it follows that axis line.

That's so it can also work on something like a custom oriented grid in the 3D view.

But I can see that may be confusing from the reversed views, maybe that should be changed for how the text tool works. I'll take a look into it.

But for the moment you would need to rotate your text or you can probably also alter your construction plane to orient in the way that you want.

Yes ive found a way around for my Pushing the Details WIP left side... (matching the mirrored image, typing in mirror hehehe)
Maybe the Text tool could use a MoI help line as an input for direction ! That would be awesome. Or just use a standard line. (curved also :D)

Hi DesuDeus, yup having "text that follows a curve" is on the wishlist.
