Hi Koji, The main point I was trying to make is that vertical layout shouldn't depend on font data, not because 'vrt2' is "wrong" so much as it's not consistent or it reflects an arbitrary choice made on a font by font basis. What Eric and I discussed was a simple property defined for all Unicode codepoints that can be used to make decisions about the default orientation. I think it's important to distinguish the property from the rules used to define default orientation, since it's easier to adjust rules as problems arise. I don't quite follow the "CSSVT" classification that you list in your table of Unicode codepoints [1]. You have "horizontal", "sideways", "sideways (default)", "upright" and "use-font". What are the meaning/intent of these categories? Basic numbers are "sideways (default)" but simple Latin letters are "horizontal", along with Greek and Cyrillic. What's the distinction you're making? And how are you distinguishing between "sideways", "horizontal" and "use-font" in the U+2100:21FF range of symbols.
