Im trying to draw a vertical string such as below:

B
R
I
A
N

Ive noticed that one of the overloaded methods of DrawString has bool GdiVertical parameter that I set to true, but I dont know what to put for the byte GdiCharSet parameter, Ive tried various numbers (randomly) and I have no text displayed... what is the GdiCharSet, I cant find anything in MSDN other than "This property takes a value from the list defined in the platform SDK header file WinGDI.h." which does me no good. This is how you should write verticle text right? Thanks
 
The only built in method of writing vertical text completely rotates it 90 degrees clockwise, which I take it you dont want.
