--- Comment #3 from Timur <[email protected]> --- Created attachment 196725 --> https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=196725&action=edit Eaxmple from the blog Someone else commented: Considering examples from a Microsoft engineer (https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20030929-02/?p=42363) and Unicode standard (https://unicode.org/reports/tr50/#vo) it seems that LibreOffice does the right thing, and Word has a bug. >From the blog: Rotating text is problematic in languages that traditionally run vertically, such as Chinese. Since you probably don’t have Chinese fonts installed, pretend that X, Y, and Z are the Chinese characters for your name. In traditional vertical text, it would be written as shown in Example 1 below. Notice that the English text is rotated clockwise. This preserves the top-to-bottom reading order. As a concession to Western influences, it is permissible to render Chinese characters left-to-right, in which case your name would be written as “XYZ (Amy Smith)”. Compare this to the traditional Western way of rotating text. Text which would normally be rendered as “Amy Smith” is rotated counter-clockwise and rendered as shown in Example 2. Now consider what happens if you take a Chinese name rendered the Western way, “XYZ (Amy Smith)”, then rotate the Western way, resulting in Example 3. Notice that from a Chinese point of view, everything is upside-down! The character that is supposed to be at the top (X) is now at the bottom. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
