The likely reason this is not a "serious" issue is that it only affects non-CJK glyphs, and few Westerners care about this direction to begin with. In fact, > For example bug 114002. ... that _is_ a way this issue is "serious". You see, because we treat this writing direction as a rotation - and probably some of the implementing code also does that - we assume glyphs are supposed to be rotated. Which they are not. Different languages have different conventions regarding the potential orientations of their glyphs (what's possible and what's common/default). If we had respected that, and not assumed we should "rotated everything sans certain exceptions", bug 114002 would not have occurred. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
