I was searching for an answer but not luck. What I want is to show the text element of a scene in vertical mode, but rotated like (Texto1, Texto2).

Is there any trick for that?

PD: thought in editing TTF fonts by changing the orientation of its characters, but didn't take into account the writting direction, meaning that if I create a vertical TEXT chart and write something, 'WORD' for example, that word will appear as DROW.

Here you have a proof about what I said before about word order during typing.

And also an unwanted spacing between every letter, due to the reduction of the width of the Text field, so automated vertical characters.

PD: I just edited 'A and a' characters of the TTF font file to adjust them to be them displayed rotared.
PD2: For the letter order (AaAa -> aAaA // WORD -> DROW), I thought in storing the value what I pretend to extract in a variable, then re-order all letters to make them appear in reverse order. But again the spacing that is shown on above images.

The solution, thanks to a user called '@Melo' on Tasker Profile Center chat.

<head>
<style>
div
{
width:150px;
height:150px;
-webkit-transform:rotate(270deg);
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<br><br><br>
<div><font size="3" color="white">Text For Testing</font></div>
</body>

You should use a WebView element in the scene, and select 'Direct' mode.

But, how to?:
- Let Tasker display the letters with an external font (local TTF), or installed in the system.
- Correctly adjust the text inside the resized box so gray sliders are not visible, or to allow the text to slide.

Here you have the project where I use the rotated text:
