I don't think it's a good default, because 'rotate-normal' lays out ideographic characters sideways. > What exactly is the difference betwee 'vertical-right' and > 'rotate-right'? The first applies to non-ideographic characters only, > the second applies to all? rotate-* ends up laying out text exactly as if it were in a horizontal page, except graphically rotated 90deg. vertical-right does the "right thing" for vertical scripts. ~fantasai
