hi Karl, I've been writing an article about how to do that. Please see https://w3c.github.io/i18n-drafts/articles/vertical-text.en You shouldn't need to use the text-orientation property, but you'll need a font that knows how to behave. Let me know if that helps, and how you get on, and send me any feedback. hope that helps, ri On 10/01/2017 12:31, Kari Pihkala wrote: > Hi, > > I’m trying to figure out what is the correct way to render traditional > Mongolian text in upright text-orientation. > > The Writing Modes 3 spec says: “Typographic character units from > vertical scripts are typeset with their intrinsic orientation” [1]. > > Mongolian is listed as a vertical script with a vertical intrinsic > direction (ttb) [2]. > > Here’s my test case: https://jsfiddle.net/9o1wazj2 > > I tried it in Chrome55 and Firefox50 on Mac/Windows10 (on Mac 10.12, the > default font didn’t display any text orientation correctly, so I had to > install the Mongolian White font [3]). > > The mixed and sideways Mongolian texts are rendered correctly, but the > upright text isn’t.
