The Fontwork dialog provides many other possibilities for manipulating text. You can,
for example, rotate the text 180 degrees with the Orientation icon (which was
done in the example above) or place the text under the line by assigning a negative
value to the spacing between text and line.
In addition, you can use the Fontwork dialog to generate curved text that follows the
shape of a curved line. Experiment a little to investigate some of the possibilities.
