I have some triangles which contain text, but I want the text to always be aligned in the same orientation to the page, even when the shape itself is rotated, which means, I guess, that I need to be able to rotate the text independently of the shape. I think it can be done in the XML but does anyone know of a way it can be done in the GUI?
Rotate text within a shape on draw.io

For now there's a URL parameter libs that takes a semicolon separated list of the library sets you want, e.g.:
https://www.draw.io/?libs=general;flowchart;basic;arrows;clipart;signs;mockups;electrical;aws;pid;leanMapping;cisco
That's also the list of all possible values currently for that parameter. You've made me realise there's a bug with ER, BPMN and iOS sets regarding this, we'll look at that.
We have discussed this and intend to persist the library settings between uses. A question for you, would you prefer this to be stored per browser (i.e. cookies) or per Google account (as a meta file in your Drive)?
Instead of rotating the text inside a box, you can rotate the box with handle then use 'rotate shape only' button in 'arrange' tab

I don't know if this was possible at the time you posted your question, but this is possible, at least at 90° intervals now. See screenshot below.
