I'm not up to the maths involved but RexDoug is, and he has posted a solution to your problem (as I understand it) here:

Not sure if these help, I think they end up in the same place.

use this code.....
i have use this code to display the text like you want

VerticalFieldManager vfm = new VerticalFieldManager(USE_ALL_HEIGHT | USE_ALL_WIDTH)
{
protected void paint(Graphics graphics)
{
// graphics.drawBitmap(0, 0, 33, 138, dateImg_c, 0, 0);


{
int thetaFixed = Fixed32.toFP(90);

int cell_11 = Fixed32.cosd(thetaFixed);
int cell_12 = -Fixed32.sind(thetaFixed);

int cell_21 = Fixed32.sind(thetaFixed);
int cell_22 = Fixed32.cosd(thetaFixed);

int[] transform = new int[] { cell_11, cell_12, cell_21, cell_22, 0, 0 };

Font myFont = Font.getDefault().derive(Font.BOLD, 17, Ui.UNITS_px, Font.ANTIALIAS_STANDARD, 0, transform);
graphics.setFont(myFont);
graphics.setColor(Color.WHITE);
graphics.drawText("Vertical text drawn", X-position of text, Y-position of text);
}
super.paint(graphics);
}
protected void sublayout(int maxWidth, int maxHeight)
{
super.sublayout(X-position, Y-position);
setExtent(X-position, Y-position);
}
};

just manage your X-position and Y-position as you want

thanks and regards
