There is logic in the default VisAD DataRenderers to
try to orient labels correctly. If you send me a test
case where it doesn't work, I'll look into it.

Absolutely. VisAD is designed so that things like this
can be changed by extensions. It may be awhile before we
add a new option for contour labels. If you want to take
a crack at it, that would be great.
