How to rotate text 90 degrees using fop, please help me???

Does anyone know how I can rotate text 90 degrees, so that it appears 
vertically.  I have used reference-orientation but this is not supported by 
fop.  I also tried embedding SVG but this also was refused by fop, both 
worked fine in Antenna XSL-formatter though.

Can anybody please help me???

Greetings Manuel

    In fact, I'm using Fop 0.20.1 and reference-orientation or direction are
not implemented (yet, they say!!)

    Well, I am also looking for an answer, but unluckily. If someone
discover something, make me know...

You need to be a bit more specific. Do you need the letters to appear the right way up but
immediately below one another or should the letters be on their side. If the latter should they go
down the page or up the page?

I have had this working fine by using SVG text. (I was using it for the axes of an SVG chart)
but this was six months ago.

I remember looking into this and seeing that the relevant XSL:FO functionality wasn't implemented
in FOP but this was a long time ago.
