There is an advanced setting on Edit>Text effects, see https://jalbum.net/help/en/jAlbum/Edit#Text_Effect

Never used it and as yet it is not documented, so don’t know exactly what it allows.

There is the text effect filter that can be applied to an image, via user variables. See https://jalbum.net/help/en/More_about_image_filters#Text_filter

The last option is to add the text directly to the image using a markup application.

That's only for setting the transparency, and/or choosing to show the text as a watermark. No tilting provided.

That might do it, but "laborious" only begins to describe it. You'd have to set up a separate call to the filter for each line of text, each with its own offset coordinates. And I'm not sure you could have the filters apply to only one image - these kinds of filters are normally applied to every image that gets scaled.

The last option is to add the text directly to the image using a markup application.

This. Plenty of image-processing apps provide this kind of functionality. The tricky part of it is that the text would be "baked in" to the image, and might shrink a lot when the image is scaled for the album. You'd really have to scale the images in the third-party app, apply the text, then tell jAlbum to use the original, rather than scaling. Tough to control, otherwise.
