after a long time I use BluffTitler, I got lost with the axes of rotation, because they behave in a strange way. What am I doing wrong? How can I get this rotation done?
Should not the axes always be related to the object?
do I have to adjust 2 axes to get the rotation?
Would it not be more correct to have a fixed rotation with respect to the object and a relative one to 3D space?
in practice if the text is at 90 ° on the x axis
the first slider and the third make the same rotation.
The only way is to attach the text to a container and turn the container to 90 °
You've already given yourself the answer: use the container layer!
Defining rotations as heading, pitch and roll is very easy and intuitive, but also has its limitations as you have pointed out. The technical term is "Euler angles". Here's the Wikipedia page:

Another solution to your puzzle is this:
-Set the CHARACTER ROTATION property to (0,90,0)
-Rotate the 3rd slider of the TEXT ROTATION property.
But I think I prefer the container solution.

Thank you Michiel.
ok, I did not think there was this problem with the angles of the axes. It was also a curiosity, because I did not understand why it happened.
However, if there is only a text, the camera could also be rotated.
