You are right, I tried playing with gimp for a couple of minutes, and there is no "vertical text" option. I found how to rotate the text, but not how to make the text vertical.

Here is one solution I've come across, even though it's a serious problem that you cannot write vertical text and only can rotate it, but it's do to support for certain plugins.1) Select your path tool (:unsure:2) Make a vertical path with it3) Type whatever you want normally with your text tool, and then click Text along Path.A much easier way to do this without spending a lot of cash on Photoshop would be to do this in Inkscape and then bring it over to the GIMP and continue working with GIMP. ;)Inkspace as I know is FREE and you can get it from here:https://inkscape.org/en/
