I don't quite understand this, you seem to be answering a different question than the one Sylvain is asking. If there aren't glyphs for half-width digits, there are no glyphs to place or scale. Fallback will occur. Keep in mind that "half-width digits" are normal ASCII digits, which are typically included in all fonts that would be used for vertical text display. So I think the problem is not one that exists in practice. Regards, John
