Paul, that's what we're trying to do, and it should work fine for Japanese. The problem is that a) Simplified Chinese fonts don't always follow the standard in how they place punctuation, so if we blindly follow the standard, the glyphs in those fonts will get trimmed out. (Also, iirc, the standard doesn't say anything about the placement of punctuation within the glyph box for vertical text.) b) I don't have access to any relevant standards for traditional Chinese. ~fantasai
