Hi,
If you want to Write a text in vertical direction you got to use the FontMetrics class.
The following are the things that you should do ...
First get the fontmetrics and then get the font height....
whenever you draw usind drawString(str,x,y)...increment the 'y' position according to the font height...
bye,
ram.
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
