sql server reporting services : TextBox - rotate text "bottom to top"??

I'm trying to set up a textbox in a report so that the text is displayed
vertically. I've found the Advanced button and the tb-rl setting, but what I
need is "bottom to top" rather than "top to bottom". Of course there is no
such setting available. Is there a workaround?

Regards,
Bill

Since HTML has no such option, we haven't added it to the product (We
figured it would likely frustrate people who want it to work the same in
HTML and other renderers). But enough people have asked for it that it's on
our wishlist for adding in some future version.

The only workaround I can think of is to write a custom assembly with a
function that takes text as input and outputs an image. Then you can use
that function to populate an image report item.
