Re: Drawing vertical text glyphs

[Jun Nogata <nogajun@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Lubos,
I'm nogajun from Japan, and I've reported a bug in tdf#136081.
As for vertical writing, the W3C document may be useful.

* Requirements for Japanese Text Layout 日本語組版処理の要件（日本語版）:
https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq/
* Requirements for Chinese Text Layout中文排版需求: https://www.w3.org/TR/clreq/
* Requirements for Hangul Text Layout and Typography : 한국어 텍스트 레이아웃 및
타이포그래피를 위한 요구사항: https://www.w3.org/TR/klreq/

Japanese vertical writing has the problem reported in tdf#136081,
where the roles are turned sideways.

With Skia enabled, it does not meet the basic vertical writing specification.
This means that LibreOffice is not available in Japan/Japanese.
If you have problems with vertical writing, please ask questions.


Regards,
Jun
