hello. I know I'm a few years late to this however I've been using your FS recently without issue aside from being unable to change which way the text is meant to be viewed from. (when using surface text on two curved faces next to each other, one appears upside-down  compared to the other. after playing around with which baselines and base surfaces I select I have been unable to change the orientation of the text. Am I missing something or is this not available? 

many thanks for a great FS and for any help given,

me again. the feature I was looking for was 'change text direction', just next to the text input area. i.e problem solved. once again thanks for a very useful FS.

Hello. This is a bit of a necropost, but is there a way to use this for vertical text/letters stacked on top of one another? Thank you for this FeatureScript as it's been very helpful, I was just wondering if this type of addition would be possible/easy to add in.

Ex:
E
x
a
m
p
l
e

@John_Goetze unfortunately, not really, though its a great idea!  It would not be hard i dont think.  
I'll add this to my list of community ideas.  i've not done FS development for a while but i do plan to eventually loop around and make another version with a lot of community ideas included.

@John_Goetze I wrote Text path. It should do what you want without too much difficulty:
