Is vertical text possible? If so what tag is used to achieve this?

the answer is <angle>270</angle>... yay (figured it out by scouring through mc360 xml code)...

Or just read the manual :p

honestly I scoured through the manual and couldn't find anything about vertical text in the font section...

I think JMarshall was refering to the skinning development sections:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Category:Skin_Development

It's referenced in the labels and buttons etc (i.e any control that allows it).

Another method (that works for any control) is just to rotate the control using a rotate anim (conditional on "true"). That is infact what the text rotation does internally
