Hi,

Create a font with CreateFontIndirect.
Set the data member (lfEscapement or lfOrientation) of the LOGFONT struct to define the desired orientation.
Select this font before drawing vertical text

I don't believe this works with all fonts

I hope this helps

Can you tell me what should be the value of (lfEscapement or lfOrientation) to draw vertical text?
Can you also tell me the name of at least ont font which support drawing of vertical text?

Thanks in advance

create a font with lfEscapement and lfOrientation as 900
and lfFaceName as "@Ariel".
