Curve text around cylinder I'm new to Blender so please excuse this question. I know there is already a question regarding this topic, however I'm having trouble with the solution posted there.

I want wo wrap text around a cylinder, but it should not be flat but "stand" on the curve, like this:


To do so, I created a bezier circle and used the "Text on curve" option to make the text follow the circle. Now it looks like this:


In the answer to the question I posted above, it says I should rotate the text on the x-axis to achieve the "standing" effect. However when I rotate it on the x-axis, it looks like this:


What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help! 

P.S. Please excuse my english, I'm not a native speaker! :)
Add a text and convert it to mesh. Add an empty and use Simple Deform modifier > Bend with the empty as origin and high, like 4, Deform factor. You may want, too,remesh and subdivide the text mesh.
