When I create a font then change the orientation (in the createfont command) it gets clipped off has anyone had a similar problem or know how to fix it

HFONT hFont = CreateFont( 
	30,
	14,
	400,
	0,
        NULL,
	FALSE,
	FALSE,
	FALSE,
	ANSI_CHARSET, 
	OUT_DEFAULT_PRECIS, 
	CLIP_DEFAULT_PRECIS,
	ANTIALIASED_QUALITY,
	FF_DONTCARE,
	"Arial" );   


D3DCOLOR fontColor        = D3DCOLOR_ARGB(255,255,0,0);
    RECT rct;
    ZeroMemory( &rct, sizeof(rct) );       

    m_pD3DXFont->Begin();
    rct.left   = 100;
    rct.right  = 500;
    rct.bottom=50;
    rct.top=100;
      
    m_pD3DXFont->DrawText( "This is a test",15, &rct, DT_TOP , fontColor );

    m_pD3DXFont->End();

I used the CD3DFont. Here is some sample code. I had
some trouble before also, but this worked for me.
The restore device call is pretty important, so do not
forget it.

CD3DFont* m_pFont

-init
m_pFont = new CD3DFont(_T("Arial"), 12, D3DFONT_BOLD);
hResult = m_pFont->InitDeviceObjects( lp3DDevice );

-After Reset device or initializing
m_pFont->RestoreDeviceObjects();

-Rendering
m_pFong->DrawText( x, y, SomeD3DCOLOR_ARGB, YourText );
That works but i want to draw the text rotated CCW 90 degrees so it is vert... how can i do this without translating everything... can i just draw it that way?
