Currently I use the procedure below to output text at an angle on a canvas. Several source on the internet approach it in this way. But I must say: the quality of the result is pretty poor. Are there better ways to do this ?

The poor result is due to the limited graphics resolution of your display. Multiples of 90 degrees should look acceptable, 45 degrees will look a bit strange, other angles look, well, as you oberserved :-(

A printout should look better, since printers typically have much higher resolutions than displays. Provided that you don't make a hardcopy of the pixels on the screen, of course ;-)
