Creating Text that Can Be Rotated
Problem
You want
to make sure that some text continues to display, even when it's
rotated.
Solution
Use embedded fonts.
Discussion
Unless you specifically use an embedded font,
text fields use device fonts. For most situations, this is
perfectly workable. However, in situations in which you want to
rotate a text field or its parent container (e.g., you want to
place a label next to an object vertically), you must use embedded
fonts. Device fonts disappear when rotating a text field.
