Because my spag-ass doesn't know how to use anything but MS word and I need it for something I'm working on. Something cool, but preferably free (by preferably, I mean mandatory). I found a few in my voyages, but couldn't get any of them to work. Thanks.

Use word-art, select a regular font instead of the crazy arty things, and then rotate it by 180 degrees.
If its for a poster, just cling it to the wall upside down. :|

But if he wants both upside down and rightside up words on the same poster, that won't work.
make the poster in two files and make one file with the rightside up letters and the other with the upside down letters.
step 2 is the hard one: figure out how to feed paper to your printer in the right way to get your desired result.
arrange for your target audience to be upside down when reading your work...
if you're using Word - word art is the answer
the other answer is typing the text into MS Paint or something, flip vertical, save. Then insert into doc.

Then: 180 rotate
Or: [ whatever an upside down matrix looks like ] makefont

You're saying
[ 0 0 1 ]
[ 0 1 0 ]
[ 1 0 0 ]
and according to section 4.3,
[ a b 0 ]
[ c d 0 ]
[ x y 1 ]
-> [ a b c d x y ]
Thus, I redact the makefont suggestion.

math is easy... for extremely difficult definitions of "easy"
I normally just put the paper in the printer upside-down.

anyway
http://www.webfontlist.com/pages/font.asp?font=11681 haven't tried, but from a screenshot I found somewhere I see that the baseline is fucked. But if you're willing to live with that ..
http://home.comcast.net/~somethingextree/UpsideDown.ttf also didn't try.
http://www.fontspace.com/casa-phunk-phonts/blufunken-side-a (lowercase letters are regular, uppercase is upside down)
http://www.searchfreefonts.com/font/upsidedown-jj.htm this one looks pretty good, nice clean readable.
http://www.searchfreefonts.com/font/upsidedown-toc.htm similar, but serifed.
ok this should get you started. if you want to look for more, do it yourself: http://www.google.com/search?num=100&q=upside+down+font :)
btw you said you had trouble getting them to work. just in case you don't know, you install a font by copying (or drag'n'dropping) the .TTF file to the directory c:\windows\fonts or it could be c:\windows\system\fonts it kinda depends on which windows you have, but it needs to be in the fonts directory. then you restart Word, and you can use the font.
Hey, thanks a bunch guys! I haven't had time to try any of your suggestions yet, I just wanted to pop in to say I appreciate the (hopefully) helpful responses.

I will be using both, upside down and right side up lettering, I probably should have clarified that.

I'm not sure if I'm at a high enough level to work that incantation yet. Hell, maybe I'm just not high enough...
000-Thanks, but my guitarist just gave me a crash course in installing fonts (I know, I'm a total spag). I will check out the stuff you linked to, though. Thanks a lot.
I think I'm going to have to get my hands on MS paint, eventually though... I'll let you guys know how I made out. Thanks again.
MS Paint comes with Windows. It's in the Bureau Accesoires / Zubehör folder in the Start Menu (damn I can't for the life of me remember what it was called in English, heh. It's the same folder that the Calculator and Notepad are in.
It's called just "Paint", btw.

It's called Zubehor in English as well, pronounced ZUBE-whore (ZUBE-hoah in New England spag).
just use o's

Go old school. Print stuff out. Cut out the stuff you want upside down, glue it to the paper. Photocopy, etc.

yeah but then we'd be the WOP cabal
"Wop", like "spag", is sometimes used as an insult for italians.
funny how that works, eh?
It's like Our Lady Eris wants us to be mad at ...ancient Romans?

Well, thought I heard the Neocons were ripping off the Roman Imperial motif at one point. We could always show them how a real War God(dess) does things.

Eris is not a war goddess. War takes strategy and planning and that's not very chaotic. Eris is the goddess of pink clouds and fluffy bunnies! Now that's
Chaos!

War isn't disorderly?
let me use an argument you can understand
in Xena: Warrior Princess the god of war was the most incompetent tactician ever, in fact he was near retarded.
gods of war dont have to be
good at making war, they just have to like it alot.
toa, where you aware that we have discovered that all War Planning in the Roman Senate happened in the temple of Bellona (an aspect of Eris/Enyo)?
Check out the Ancient Greeks and Eris thread in the PD sub-forum.
