I have a Vertical Oriented Monitor and the Dwarf Fortress window is oriented correctly but the graphics are drawn as if the monitor was horizontal and spill outside of the window.

Hum, try turning on [BLACKSPACE] in the init file.
It might work.

I Tried that without success. Here is a jpeg of what happens:

   

Also, This problem happens with and without graphic tiles.

When fiddling with my graphic card options, I've spotted a place on which I could switch my graphics by +/-90 degrees. Did you try that?

He's already got it set up that way, obviously; check out the rest of his desktop.

Someone could fiddle with kobquest enabler.cpp enablerst::create_window_GL and see if changing something there can fix it.

I figured out a fix for my problem. I was rotating the monitor using the monitor driver and the viewsonic monitor utility.

When I instead rotated the monitor with the ATI Control Center it works fine.

That ATI driver-specific solution is not optimal.
In my specific case, I can't do that since the toshiba version of the nvidia drivers disable driver rotation so that the toshiba duct-taped-together auto-rotation sensor service and driver and tsr and client thing can work properly. Its got more parts to it than a bloody bicycle, I'm sort of surprised it works at all.
A better idea IMHO would be a command line parameter or an init.txt option to rotate the display window 0, 90, 180, or 270 degrees. This *should* not be very hard to implement by rotating the openGL camera, but that depends on toady's code somewhat too.
