I'm thinking to display some of glyphs from the vertical glyph set of a font in my product plan, and wondering if there's a better and standardized way to do it.

If CSS is going to support font variants feature in OpenType--although I'm not sure if similar feature is available in other font format but I guess so--maybe vertical could also be added as part of the efforts. I couldn't find that kind of variants support either though. In OpenType Layout, the relevant features for vertical glyph substitutions are http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/features_uz.htm#vert http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/features_uz.htm#vkna http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/features_uz.htm#vrt2 (although I'm not sure why a separate feature is needed/used for Kana) and for vertical glyph spacing are http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/features_uz.htm#valt http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/features_uz.htm#vhal http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/features_uz.htm#vpal http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/features_uz.htm#vkrn I'm cc'ing this to Ken Lunde at Adobe, who should be able to provide more information on these features, how they are implemented in Adobe's CJK fonts, and perhaps how they might be implemented via CSS.
