The simplest example is just to go to http://www.highcharts.com/demo/column-rotated-labels in IE7 or IE8.

The problem isn't limited to only rotated text as you can see that the y-axis label is garbled as well. Similarly, the y-axis label is garbled on this page in IE7/8 as well: http://www.highcharts.com/demo/column-basic

This appears to be a regression as earlier versions rendered these labels just fine in IE7/8.
