1. They only work for a truetype font. MS Sans Serif which most of us use is
not a TT font. Arial is.
2. The alignment doesn't work and all are always aligned 'centered.'
So here's what I did to get a group of strings aligned by their bottoms and
standing up labeling the top of thin columns:
1. Use a true type font for the window.
2. CREATE the string.
3. Set its text.
4. Swap its Height and Width
S# = NewString{PROP:Height}
NewString{PROP:Height} = NewString{PROP:Width}
NewString{PROP:Width} = S#
5. Set its angle to 900 (90 * 10)
6. Set its PROP:YPos to BottomEdge - NewString{PROP:Height}
7. Set the PROP:XPos to whatever
8. Set PROP:Hide to FALSE
