Rotate text in IE, without it getting ugly

Question

I\'d like to rotate a text by 90 degrees counter-clockwise. Firefox and Chrome are no problem, using:

-webkit-transform-origin: top left;
-webkit-transform:          


        

Answer 1

It is Def the text rendering engine in IE; however, it's doable.

filter: requires the element to have layout (ie. zoom). You can beat the rendering problem (most of the time), by giving the element a background color. Try the following on your example:

zoom:1;
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(rotation=3);
background-color:white;
