Rendered example

Parameters

Parameter	Meaning
`font`	Font number; 0–7 have table heights, other values are drawn about 24 dots high
`size`	Font sub-size; accepted but not applied by the Labelixa preview
`x y`	Start position in dots; the text runs rotated 90° counter-clockwise
`data`	The rest of the line, printed as-is — no quotes needed

Common mistake

Adding a rotation parameter: the rotation is in the command name, so TEXT 90 4 0 30 40 Vertical reads 90 as the font and shifts every field. Write TEXT90 4 0 30 40 Vertical.
