  var text = r.text(40, 40+posy, txt).attr(attr).attr({fill: "#0f0"}); // underlayer or "shadow"
  text.attr({transform: "r270"}); // rotate 270 degrees
  var text2 = r.text(43, 43+posy, txt).attr(attr).attr({fill: "#aa0"}); // text above
  text2.attr({transform: "r270"}); // rotate 270 degrees
  r.safari();
