Upright Geo Tol symbols v. Oblique lettering

Upright Geo Tol symbols v. Oblique lettering

(OP)
Re: AutoCAD 2000 TOL command, which presents you with a Geometrical Tolerance window to fill in with your Symbol, Tol value and Datum Letter etc.

If I use this method of drawing Geo Tols while using my sloping text style, it follows that the Symbol is drawn sloping to suit.  This looks silly of course, especially the Perpendicularity Symbol and Roundness and Concentricity symbOLs.

Although it seems that the resulting Geo Tol entities are uneditable as a string, there must be a way to mix upright symbols and oblique text, other than using attributed blocks.  Does anybody know a solution/way to convert a Tolerance to Mtext?

And no, I will not start using upright text to suit Autodesk.

Cheers,
