Should work nicely.
Another trick might be to make an fo:block sufficiently small and just 
add spaces between the letters.

What's "clever?" A generic approach to problems which are hard to solve
in FO is to embed a SVG.

Which combinations did you try exactly?
Reference-orientation is of no use by itself, since it will rotate  
the whole sentence instead of the individual characters.
Just noticed that our compliance page indicates none of the writing- 
mode related properties to be implemented [*]
OTOH, I do seem to remember reading reports from users working with  
different writing-modes with success (could be wrong)

HTH!

Hi,

For that you need svg.
Try this:


  
http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"; 
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";
  width="7" height="250">
  

  
Your text here

Thanks for the solution, what if I also want to rotate each letter, ie 
vertical text with letter also rotated 90 degree?

Just put each character (or word or whatever unit 
of text you like) in its own block, thus:
 
Make 
Me 
Vertical
 
Depending on the properties of the flow containing 
the blocks, you may also need to set position attributes, but I think the 
default values stack blocks vertically.

Cool! :) How come this idea's not mentioned in the FAQ yet?!?

Damn', first thing I thought of was SVG, but this: a native XSL-FO 
solution.


Nice one.
