Text orientation

I will soon need to write a scheduling program that manipulates a 
rectangular matrix with a list of personal names labelling the columns 
and dates labelling the rows. This aspect, along with the processes 
needed to load data into the matrix, manipulate it and save it are well -
understood, but I have a display formatting issue with the column labels: 
is there any way that a Java program can align these labels vertically 
like most spreadsheets can, i.e. display the names vertically with the 
first letter at the top? The matrix I need to display can run to 25 or so 
rows and columns but each cell can be quite small (think of holding two 
10pt characters), which means the whole matrix should easily fit onto a 
display if the column labels can be painted as vertically aligned text.

I can't find any hint that this may be possible with AWT/Swing, but did I 
miss something? Alternatively, is it possible with JavaFX?
