Description
Traditionally (and still very common today) Chinese, Japanese and Korean were written vertically. This is not yet possible with QT.
This is not just rotating the entire text about 90%, but instead the writing starts at the upper right corner, going down in a line to the bottom of the page, continuing in the next line left to the previous line. The individual characters are not rotated, but are instead stacked on each another:
日こ
本れ
語は
Also, some characters look slightly different when written vertically, e.g. 、。「っ and so on. I think, this is done via the “vert” substitution table in the fonts.
Vertical writing is also extremely necessary for Mongolian, which can only be written vertically. In this, the writing differs a little bit from CJK writing, because it starts at the upper left corner.
All in all, this is really a necessary feature.
