I know thereare only a finite umber of techniques and methods you can cover in a 5-10 minute slot, but something which I've gone through pretty much all your tutorials through, well the ones I can understand, is how to rotate text characters in the y direction. It may sound simple and a joke for someone of your knowledge, but believe me I've tried almost all your methods but I'm lost. Any tips/advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks for all the tutorials, I really appreciate it.
