In a meeting of Japanese typography experts today at the [APL](https://www.kri.sfc.keio.ac.jp/en/lab/aplab.html), I raised this topic. People were aware that RTL horizontal Japanese for text other than names on signs used to exist, but all agreed that it has completely disappeared in modern use, and no-one could actually recall seeing any instance of it in person (other than the samples in this thread). Even back when it was used, the practice was short lived. As far as I can tell, modern practice is limited to Taiwan, and so the design of the feature should be driven by Taiwanese needs. For example, the question of the spacing around Japanese punctuation marks I raised earlier, and for which @himorin has found nice examples, while interesting in theory, is not relevant to modern practitioners. Since it is not relevant for Taiwan, we probably shouldn't let concerns about it get in the way of solving the actual problem. -- GitHub Notification of comment by frivoal Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/2754#issuecomment-462751707 using your GitHub account
