hello!

i am trying to get my text progression to flow right to left but flip it so that instead of tiliting your head to the right to read it you would tilt your head to the left...

i had orignally transformed and flipped the text box which worked for english text. but there is an option to change the language to chinese and when you do, the chinese character display upsidedown..

do you know how to handle that?

if i need to make mysefl more clear please let me know!

thanks in advance for any direction!

yes. it is not a font problem that i am having. it is a problem of getting the text to change direction of how it is layed out. ie, if you look at an american made book you will see that the title on the spine reads downwards. right now i can only get the text to layout the same way - but i need it to lay it out so it reads upwards. i can do that by transforming the text box which makes the english text come in how i want it but then it messes with the chinese characters and makes them read uside down.
