[Gimp-user] rotate

[Zoltan Tibenszky]

Hi everybody!

I am new on this mailing list, and I have just get basic knowledge about 
GIMP.
I have got the following issue:
I have to put some text on a picture. Some text have to be vertical. I 
have created the text with the text tool, and I have rotated it to make 
it vertical. The problem was that the sides of the text become 
transparent and just the middle of the text has reserved its original 
colour.
How could I avoid this "transparent" issue?
Is there any simpler way to create a non-horizontal text?

Thanks a lot!

Zoltan
I hope you could understand me :)
