This isn't quite right, especially the term "alternate metrics". Sideways runs are set using the horizontal metrics and the normal set of features used for horizontal text runs. I think you may be trying to refer to the proposal in Appendix C to add a new feature, 'svrt', specific to sideways runs within vertical text runs. I would suggest either referring to it directly or omitting it. > In the ‘sideways’, ‘sideways-right’, and ‘sideways-left’ modes, > text is typeset using horizontal font metrics and the normal > set of features used for horizontal text runs. Vertical metrics > and vertical glyph variations are not used. I think you could merge these two paragraphs and it would be clearer and more succinct. Cheers, John Daggett
