You could probably work out some ridiculously compley CSS positioning solution, but it'll end up being less accessible than an image with proper alt and title attributes and way more work...

There is no rotational property in CSS1 or 2. I do not believe there is one CSS3, but even if there it is not supported in any browser I know of.

An image placed over text using an image replacement technique is a good idea.

I was thinking in terms of putting each letter in a nested tree of divs and using relative positioning to offset them horizontally. Like I said, messy.

Yep, this definitely seems to be the best option.

Figment

Either use an image/text replacement technique with the css(if you need it for search engines or visually impaired) or if you want it selectable then use a similar technique but with flash.
