CSS3 will provide this. Note also that some vertical text support is available using IE already (though I'm not recommending this be used until standards exist, you can see an example at http://people.w3.org/rishida/scripts/samples/japanese.html (select the direction in the right hand column). Note how the text does not fill the page vertically. ) No need to wait for CSS3, both XSL http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-xsl-20011015/ <http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-xsl-20011015/> and SVG (check section 10) http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/ <http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/> support vertical text in their current Recommendations. The CSS3 proposals of record are largely based on the XSL extensions, but the Rudy support in CSS3 was done only in CSS.
