ISSUE-2175 (tb-rl, tb-lr): Revisit vertical text for tb-rl, tb-lr [SVG Core 2.0] http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/issues/2175 Raised by: Doug Schepers On product: SVG Core 2.0 Richard Ishida (i18n) <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-svg/2008Oct/0079.html>: [[ Comment 7 At http://www.w3.org/International/reviews/0810-svg-tiny/ Editorial/substantive: E Tracked by: RI Location in reviewed document: 10.6.1 [http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGMobile12/text.html#TextLayoutIntroduction] Comment: "For top-to-bottom text, the block-progression-direction always points 90 degrees counter-clockwise from the reference orientation vector because the only available top-to-bottom writing mode is tb-rl." I think this sentence needs to be deleted, since SVG Tiny doesn't support vertical text. If it is there as a general statement, it should be made clearer, and corrected to say that tb-rl is not the only vertical writing mode. ]] Doug Schepers <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-svg/2008Oct/0094.html> [[ I've removed the offending sentence, but be warned that it may return in SVG Full. How would you reword this in light of writing-mode="tb-lr" (for Mongolian, Manchu and Phags-pa script), a value not covered in SVG 1.1 Full? Please let us know if this satisfies your comment, in terms of the SVG 1.2 Tiny spec. ]]
