Aaron Madlon-Kay commented on PDFBOX-4106:
------------------------------------------
Actually when removing the {{UnicodeScript}} stuff I found that a full
reimplementation based the actual Unicode 10 Script.txt provides significantly
better coverage than JDK7's, which I guess is based on Unicode 6. So I think
the JDK7 implementation can be thrown out, but I do have it in git if you
really want it.
I have deleted my previous patches and uploaded a new set with the changes
discussed earlier. However I am getting an internal error when I try to upload
patch 8; here is a link to it on GitHub:

> I needed to output vertical Japanese text, but was stymied by several
> limitations:
> * No API to load a TTF as Identity-V encoding
> * No support for 'vert' glyph substitution
> * No support for vertical metrics ('vhea' and 'vmtx' tables are parsed but
> not used at all)
> I have attached a series of patches that implement the above features.
> Highlights:
> * The GSUB glyph substitution table is parsed (limitation: type 1 lookups
> only; this is sufficient for many features including 'vert'/'vrt2' vertical
> glyph substitution)
> * Cmap lookup makes use of GSUB when features are enabled on a TTF
> * 'vhea' and 'vmtx' metrics are applied to PDCIDFont when appropriate, and
> are embedded/subsetted correctly through the DW2/W2 CIDFont dictionary
> * An API has been added for loading a TTF as a vertical font, setting
> Identity-V encoding and enabling 'vert'/'vrt2' substitution
> Each patch could approximately be split out into a separate ticket, if
> desired.
> Also attached is some sample code that exercises these patches and
> illustrates the effect of vertical glyph positioning. The sample output PDF
> is also attached.
