I guess the actual issue is that we don't know how we should initialize font
properly. In Windows we prepend @ to the font name to indicate it is for
vertical writing and set font Escapement and font Orientation to the text
orientation ( i.e. 270 for vertical writing ). Somehow that works for most
characters in SMP but not for BMP, but that might be a coincidence. It might
also be font dependent so that the characters work correctly even they are in
SMP. Maybe we can create some test with EXT-B characters and render them in
HanaMinB ( assume the font is implemented correctly for EXTB characters ) to
verify our assumption. If we can differ the characters, then we can set the
orientation correctly for those characters.
