worked out a solution as follows:

1. create a gif with the required text.
2. design a button to be vertical ie. height > width.
3. make it iconic and set the icon file name to the gif created above.
4. a bit of tweak may be required for sizing so make sure that the button and image sizes are compatible.

Well yes, that'll work, if you can be bothered with all that.
