Yes you can. It's really simple, just add \n after each character.

That is a simple way! Thanks. But, is it possible to adjust the spacing between the alphabets in this case? – BlackCursor Dec 10 '15 at 17:42
By spacing you mean the spacing between the words, right? (For example the phrase "Hello World" has just 1 space) You are talking about this space, right? – Eric B. Dec 10 '15 at 17:44
Nevermind, I got it. I meant the vertical spacing. We can use `lineSpacingMultiplier` property to reduce/increase line spacing. Thanks :) – BlackCursor Dec 10 '15 at 17:46
Great, glad i could help out! Kindly accept my answer. – Eric B. Dec 10 '15 at 17:48
