    Hello. Newbie question here. I'm trying to use the vertical text feature. I am able to get the text to flip from horizontal to vertical. However when I do this the spacing between the letters is huge. When I click on the AA box and open the drop down menu the 4 boxes appear. I'm using the first box (spacing between letters) to adjust the spacing. But when I adjust the spacing it doesn't adjust evenly (see snapshot). Guessing this is an easy fix but I'm stumped. I appreciate the advise!

    As you can see, some letters like the lowercase l (L) is much taller than the others. It may take a lot of vertical kerning.

    I'd probably break it into separate letters an align them as objects.
