Yesterday, Muarakami-san invited me to dinner with a group of 10 Japanese typographers / type designers / DTP operators. Naturally, I put them to work on the question of the day, tate-chu-yoko. We started out with two options, A) force to 1em and B) do nothing. The table was split about 4-2, but two others held out for an option C) "It depends". After much discussion in Japanese, the group at the table came to consensus on the following rules: 1. If 1/N-width glyphs are available, use those. Otherwise use regular glyphs. 2. If the resulting composition fits within the 'line-height', don't scale. 3. If the resulting composition is wider than the 'line-height', scale to fit within the 'line-height'. I asked if they were ok with the implication that TCY might conflict with ruby if the line-height were too small, and they said it's acceptable, and assured me that these are the rules they want. Here is the drawings we used for the discussion: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2013Jun/att-0069/shinjuku-2013-06-11.png I would like to edit CSS Writing Modes to reflect this consensus. Are there any objections to this? ~fantasai
