Baz's answer will move the text outside of the window. This is caused by rotating the complete coordiate system of the window. The follwoing solution rotate the text and position it to the coordiates x, y:

Transform tr = new Transform(display);
tr.translate(x,y);
tr.rotate(-90);
gc.setTransform(tr);
gc.drawText("Text", 0, 0);

This should do it:

Transform tr = new Transform(display);
tr.rotate(-90);
gc.setTransform(tr);

gc.drawText("Text", x, y);
