I think the current method is using CreateFontIndirect from LCLIntf
unit. This will create a font which you can assign to the canvas and
then input text. One of the fields of the structure you pass to this
function controls the rotation of the text. It is used just like the
windows api of the same name.
However, this only works currently with win32 (and possibly wince) and
qt widgetsets. Someone sent a patch to implement it for gtk2 a few
days ago if I am not mistaken.
