Rotate text characters

Is there a way to rotate individual characters in the text, or insert new lines? I want to orient text down the side of a chimney with each character below one another.
I tried rotate but it just rotates the entire string, and \n isn’t interpreted as an escape character.

Hi @markp and welcome!

There isn’t currently that option I’m afraid but it’s something I’m thinking about for the future. Probably your best bet for now is to create the text in Inkscape and import it in as an SVG. Be sure to convert the text to paths before saving.

Hope this helps!

Thanks! An image was my fallback plan.
Even support for multi line or \n would do the trick if that’s easier than per-character rotation.

I think having an option in the rotate node to rotate each individual shape independently might be good?
