Being able to adjust letter spacing on vertical words would allow us to adjust for different size fonts, and make words more legible. Please consider enabling this option.
I've just looked at one of your products and see that you've entered a word as normal, but made the text box so narrow that it shows as one letter under the other. Line spacing won't adjust this. You need to enter a return after each letter, with the text set centre. Like this:
K
E
I
R
A
N
Also, you seem to have the same word reproduced 18 times! I can't see why that would be.
@NigelSutherlandthanks for replying so fast. I realise I left out some details in my original post, so I'll clarify more. When I said 'vertical text', I specifically meant toggling Vertical Orientation on the right tool menu, above the Curvature section
When this orientation is selected, the Letter Spacing section becomes greyed out, and the Line Spacing only affects a new line of text, which will appear to the right of the first line
Two lines of text in the Edit Text boxthe second line of text appears to the right in Vertical Orientation

I hadn't thought of making a Horizontal text box that is only one letter wide. That does work as an alternative, thank you!
Ah that's interesting. I've used that method for making a drop shadow, but not for creating an outline-effect. We definitely need the ability to create outline fonts, (and also soft drop shadows! Hint!)
to be able to adjust the line spacing I'd still suggest putting a return after each letter. If a customer changed the word, they should see how you've done it in the text-entry box. 👍
Before the orientation effect I would enter with the space between each letter. The problem with that is the customer has to know to do that. It would be so much user friendly if the customer could just put in the text in a regular way. I thought that was the reason for the orientation but it does not help at all. It isn't even a good fix for the original problem of adding text line by line. 😞 Good idea but big error that could use a fix. I even tried to enter the work using the horizontal orientation first while adding line spacing then switching it to vertical. I thought I might have figured a cool fix. It didn't work. I am sure I was not the only one who tried it.
