No. > 2.Does the underline also rotate? Undefined. Note that going forward, for SVG 2, we will be aligning with the CSS3 Writing Modes spec for how to handle vertical text. > 3.Does any stretching as imposed through font-stretch="ultra-expanded" > textLength="90" lengthAdjust="spacingAndGlyphs" apply horizontally or > vertically? I would imagine it applies vertically, since the textLength="90" describes the author's expectation of the sum of the (vertical) advances of the glyphs. But I don't know that this is defined well for vertical text in the spec. > 4.Does a gradient stretch throughout the text or is it applied on a > character-by-character basis? No special stretching of the gradient should be done due to lengthAdjust="".
