Text on a path is text, which has firstly been laid out, and secondly put on a path. So horizontal text is horizontal text, even if the path is a vertical line or a circle. It does not suddenly become vertical text at some critical angle. (One could also lay out vertical text, and then put it on a path). Its the same as having some text element and rotating it. The text does not become "vertical text" and "horizontal text", and re-layout, four times per 360 degree rotation. As to the cursor, for horizontal text, if it can be displayed perpendicular to the path then that is nice (but different issue to horizontal/vertical text). -- Best regards, Chris Lilley, Technical Director, W3C Interaction Domain
