It seems that text has to have an embedded font to be rotated. Unfortunately, access to text fields in components is limited. I’ve been able to get around it with radio buttons with the following code:

```auto

buttons*.textField.embedFonts = true;
buttons*.setStyle("textFormat", format);

```

With the text set in format as an embedded font.

Has anyone successfully rotated a TextArea or Button object?
