Hi Jim,

 > FIrst, how does one implement vertical text?

The implementation was done the following way. Set up the text in  
transparent buttons. Fiddle with the margins. Import snapshot from  
button. Set the resizeQuality of snapshot to best. Rotate the image.  
For speed reasons do all this with messages locked. Obviously, this  
only works for relatively small portions of text and an engine version  
 >=3 is recommended.

This is far from ideal, as it does not print too well. For printing  
purposes a bit more work is required and I still look into that area.  
I would love to see real vector text in Rev at some point. This would  
be so useful.

Hope that helps,

Malte
