On OS X 10.7.5, latest Firefox (31.0), latest LO (4.3.0):

The vertical text in the SVG file exported by LO does _not_ render as
expected in current Firefox, nor in Chromium (recent devel snapshot) nor
in Squiggle (Batik 1.7). In my understanding, this is a (confirmed)
regression in LO's SVG export: the 'transform()' attribute should be
applied to the top-level <text> element, or to a parent container
element, but not to a (nested) <tspan> element:

Attribute:
  ‘transform’
Elements on which the attribute may be specified:
  ‘a’, ‘circle’, ‘clipPath’, ‘defs’, ‘ellipse’, ‘foreignObject’, ‘g’, ‘image’, ‘line’, ‘path’, ‘polygon’, ‘polyline’, ‘rect’, ‘switch’, ‘text’, ‘use’

Upstream ticket:
- 57215: Wrong text rotation in SVG Export (rotated text appears as non-rotated):
  <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57215>
«The attribute "transform" is in an element "tspan" in the example. But an element "tspan" does not allow an attribute "transform", see list of attributes in http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/text.html#TSpanElement. It should be on the element "g". The syntax would allow it on the element "text" too, but neither Seamonkey nor Inkscape will rotate the text then.»

Earlier report filed for Inkscape:
- Bug #1277517 “Rotation exported from LibreOffice Calc not honored”

Proposing to link as duplicate to bug #1277517 (closed as 'Invalid' for
project Inkscape).
