Hi, I’m trying to figure out what is the correct way to render traditional Mongolian text in upright text-orientation. The Writing Modes 3 spec says: “Typographic character units from vertical scripts are typeset with their intrinsic orientation” [1]. Mongolian is listed as a vertical script with a vertical intrinsic direction (ttb) [2]. Here’s my test case: https://jsfiddle.net/9o1wazj2 I tried it in Chrome55 and Firefox50 on Mac/Windows10 (on Mac 10.12, the default font didn’t display any text orientation correctly, so I had to install the Mongolian White font [3]). The mixed and sideways Mongolian texts are rendered correctly, but the upright text isn’t. Does it mean that browsers are typesetting Mongolian upright text wrong?
