Create the field with fontsize 4 times what your want, take a snapshot, rotate, paste, and reduce the image's width and length to 25% of the original .
Yep, that's exactly what I'm doing (not the paste bit, ie the code puts text into a field, takes the snapshot, rotates the snapshot, and then uses the 'print ... into rect' syntax to have it scaled on the printer).
But it's ugly, and while if I know the exact resolution of the printer I should get something like the right result, if for example I generate a PDF when you zoom it, you can see the horizontal text scale smoothly, while the vertical text reveals its bitmap horrors.
So if there was a way to do it right - ie a 'printRotated' property that could be set and reset multiple times within a single print job - that would be nicer.

It's working fine for me in the latest version. thanks all for your responses, Ben _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
