TTF Symbols flip orientation along lines

Description

I created a TTF symbol using ">" to show the direction of road segments. This
symbol flips orientation from ">" to "<" depending on slope and direction of the
line.

OK, Stepan Kafka pointed out that this is by design and that there is an
undocumented feature where by if you set the GAP to a negative value then the
symbols stay oriented along the line as opposed to oriented north!

We have been able to confirm this does in fact work so I am reassigning this to
bug to documentation.
