Misoriented altitude labels on contour lines

How to reproduce the issue?

With any layer that shows contour lines active, some of the lines' altitude labels are misoriented. This issue can cause confusion, since it deviates from the convention of topographical map notation (source).

Current behavior

The current logic appears to be "display the contours' labels perpendicular to their line, in the orientation that is most readable on the viewer's screen".

Expected bahavior

All the number labels on countours should be aligned with the top of the number uphill.

Screenshot(s) or anything else?

In the following screenshot (of an obvious mountain) I have marked in green and in red contours that are and are not (respecively) oriented correctly - relative to the mountain peak.

That's something you would have to report to the author of the layer(s) in question - we do not deal with map renderings here.

The menu you got when reporting this bug would have prompted you to report issues with the default style to the correct location but that doesn't have contours - for other layers see the attribution in the bottom right for a link to the layer's upstream site to report things.

Thanks for the tip!
