Greetings -
I am using freetype2 to render Asian characters in a vertical layout.
Although I am just beginning this task, I noticed that freetype seems to
rotate all characters by 90 degrees when rasterizing in a vertical
layout. Although this is desirable for latin characters, this is not
what I want for Asian characters. I still want Asian characters to
remain oriented upright and non-rotated.
Is the general assumption that it is the developer's responsibility to
handle such cases? So, for Asian character ID's, I should not request
vertical layout of freetype - yet if I do that, how do I get vertical
metrics for proper layout? Is there some missing functionality in
freetype that I am missing concerning the rotation of some characters in
vertical layout? Any pointers or background knowledge would be helpful
here and greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Darrell
