Hello. A while ago I inquired about creating PDFs with vertical text in the user list: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/2825e7a67fcc3f923b102eeedc29c44b48a3b0d1b681d6d82b8da1c1@%3Cusers.pdfbox.apache.org%3E
For my immediate needs I ended up following the advice I received from John Hewson and froze the ‘vert’ feature into my font, and brute-force set the encoding to Identity-V. However I thought it would be nice to have a proper solution for the future, so I have implemented it here: https://github.com/amake/pdfbox/tree/vertical This branch includes: - GSUB table parsing (everything but LookupTables other than type 1) - GSUB lookup (excluding features that need LookupTables other than type 1) - An API for loading a TTF as a vertical font, with ‘vrt2’ or ‘vert’ substitution - An API for specifying additional GSUB features - Applying ‘vhea’ and ‘vmtx’ to CIDFont: on load, when subsetting, or when embedding without subsetting I would like to contribute this to the project. Any advice on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.
