Dying to try this and hope it works. However, how would I actually go about implementing this, properly? I mean, I only wish to let certain elements have this vertical text.

Switching from Pitbull4 to oUF is something I'm willing to do to make this work -- though at first glance the intense Lua editing for a layout scared me away.

I've a more or less clearcut image in my head how I want my unitframes to look like (Photoshop wins sometimes :>), and at this point Pitbull4 won't let me accomplish that (vertical text being only one of them).
