Vertical Text This is how I do vertical text in psp8. You need to hit enter on your keyboard after each letter then before you hit apply, highlight the text and change the Leading settings until happy. Kerning is the horizontal space between letters and Leading is the vertical space between rows of text. I usually have leading set at about -350 when doing vertical text, but it depends on the font. So by highlighting your text and changing the settings you can see what it will look like. As you can see the text on left has Leading set at 0 and there are huge gaps between letters, but with the settings at -350 on the right it looks much better.
