almost vertical on its side -- like in a spreadsheet. Current CSS recommendations don't provide any way to achieve this. You'll need to look to CSS 3 drafts or SVG - neither of which enjoys a great deal of support on the WWW. (The other option is pictures of text) 20090531 0945 GMT-5

That's good to know. I guess it's not surprising; it is, however, rather disconcerting. My basic instinct is to set the base at 10px, simply so i can work in units that I'm used to. If everything is multiples of ten it makes ems a much more intelligible unit too. I guess I've been going about
