Do you want to rotate the text so that the letters are sideways or do you want something more like:

T

H

I

S

???

For the first, just simply use the .rotation attribute:

local myText = display.newText(“Hello World”, 0, 0, native.systemFontBold, 20)

myText.rotation = 90

myText.x = 100

myText.y = 100

For the latter, you can use multi-line text and the newline character:

local myText = display.newText(“H\ne\nl\nl\no\n \nW\no\nr\nl\nd\n”, 0, 0, 20, 0, native.systemFontBold, 20)
