<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Candara",sans-serif">Apologies for taking a long time to respond to Ken Ludne’s proposal on the ‘vert’ feature.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Candara",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-family:"Candara",sans-serif">After talking with people in the GDI and DirectWrite teams, we are recommending against this proposal. There is an existing solution for vertical typesetting that has been implemented in
OpenType and Microsoft products for over 25 years, with good customer feedback and a plethora of fonts developed for it. It also supports components like Jamo so that space-efficient East Asian fonts can be created. Finally, though poorly documented, it has
a quarter century of momentum behind it. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-family:"Candara",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-family:"Candara",sans-serif">To its credit, Ken’s proposal does provide greater flexibility for font makers, and enables Harfbuzz and CoreText platforms to support vertical typesetting with no code changes; however,
it does not address the existing solution or the impact of the proposal on it. I.e. fonts designed per the new proposal will not work on platforms that implement the existing solution. Even if the proposal went forward as-is, it would create a problem for
font makers because they would not have a way to build a single font on all the platforms. This problem is only made worse by the fact that, neither of the two platform makers that do require code changes to support the proposal (i.e. Adobe and Microsoft)
can commit to the change. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-family:"Candara",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-family:"Candara",sans-serif">For our part, we will look into better documenting the current solution for platform makers so that it is easier and clearer to implement.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-family:"Candara",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Previously, the specification proposed that the vert feature be implemented with GSUB single substitutions. This proposal
also allows vert to appear in GPOS (specifically, type 1 lookups, it appears). There is a concern that our text stacks assume only GSUB single substitutions. We need some time to look into this – e.g. is there no problem? Is there something that architecturally
or logically prevents this from being implemented? I am following up with various teams at MS on this.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

Hi Ken, all, <br>
<br>
Like Ken mentioned in his email, it appears that something is broken on Yahoo Groups server that prevents attachments from being downloaded from the email link - there are two links embedded in my original email (one in the beginning and another one in the
very end) - none of them work. <br>
<br>
However, there is also "View attachments on the web" link, which brings you to their web interface - you need to be logged in using the same Yahoo profile you used to sign up to this group email list, but once logged in - you can see and download the attachment
from the web archive. <br>
<br>
It is unfortunate that their email attachments do not work (hopefully something Yahoo will fix soon) but, at least, there is a way to get a document downloaded for review. If you are not able to do it for whatever reason, please contact me directly and I will
email you a standalone copy. <br>
<br>
Thank you, <br>
Vlad <br>
<br>

blocks are repositioned along both axes such that they combine correctly, which involves adjustments to the XPlacement, YPlacement, and YAdvance value records.
<br>
> <br>
> Below is a modified version of the "Recommended implementation" section: <br>
> <br>
> The font includes versions of the glyphs covered by this feature that differ in some visual way from the default glyphs, such as by rotation, shifting, or different component ordering. For such glyphs, the 'vert' feature maps the default glyphs to the corresponding,
alternate glyphs for vertical writing mode using a type 1 (single substitution) GSUB lookup. For glyphs that require repositioning for vertical writing mode, the font specifies alternate metrics (GPOS lookup type 1).
<br>
> <br>
> Below is a modified version of the "Application interface" section: <br>
> <br>
> For GIDs found in the 'vert' coverage table, the application passes GIDs to the lookup tables associated with the feature, then gets back new GIDs (GSUB) or positional adjustments (XPlacement, XAdvance, YPlacement and YAdvance).
<br>
> <br>
> Lastly, change "Unicode Technical Report" to "Unicode Standard Annex" in the first paragraph of the "Feature interaction" section.
<br>
> <br>
> <br>
> 2) In the description of the 'vrtr' feature, change "Unicode Technical Report" to "Unicode Standard Annex" in the first paragraph of the "Feature interaction" section.
<br>
> <br>
> <br>
> 3) Per recent discussions on the mailing list, register the following new language tag for the Layout Tag Registry:
<br>
> <br>
> ZHM Chinese, Macao SAR (ISO 639 ID is zho) <br>
> <br>
> Background: Traditional Chinese is used in three main regions: Taiwan (aka ROC), Hong Kong SAR, and Macao SAR. Language tags for the first two have already been registered: ZHT and ZHH. Their conventions, in terms of the shapes of their components, are sufficiently
different that Pan-CJK implementations which support the 'locl' GSUB feature require separate language tags so that the appropriate region-specific glyphs can be displayed.. The conventions for Hong Kong SAR are best described as a hybrid of those of China
(PRC) and Taiwan (ROC), along with components whose forms are unique to Hong Kong SAR. Likewise, the conventions for Macao SAR can be described as a hybrid of those of Taiwan (ROC) and Hong Kong SAR, and by extension, those of China (PRC).

<br>
> <br>
> Tag: 'chws' <br>
> <br>
> Friendly name: Contextual Half-width Spacing <br>
> <br>
> Registered by: Adobe/W3C <br>

> Function: Contextually respaces glyphs designed to be set on full-em widths, fitting them onto individual half-width horizontal widths, to approximate more sophsticated text layout, such as what is described in [Requirements for Japanese Text Layout (JLREQ)](<a href="https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Furldefense.proofpoint.com%2Fv2%2Furl%3Fu%3Dhttps-3A__www.w3.org_TR_jlreq_%26d%3DDwIGaQ%26c%3DeuGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM%26r%3Djb2T9D8Np5j0t1X2JtGDVMxJyD5fvLoEPxzRs46vOK4UfGfOrlVsyuleed6YRZk5%26m%3D8zsAQ_0stQBKP3Aik46G1aowA6dIIGdedvW78fu3IYY%26s%3Du6erLE0xe7mZxhDdpjikFHdjAJxC-7InNYjPFDultCk%26e%3D&data=02%7C01%7Crobmck%40microsoft.com%7Cda43edf2dc9f4fe2f5dd08d67590e3a0%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C636825662499395888&sdata=RIyVK8nOJCkGiKgD%2Fr0V3zRsFMrXjzrJhIwpDrykGLY%3D&reserved=0">https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.w3.org_TR_jlreq_&d=DwIGaQ&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=jb2T9D8Np5j0t1X2JtGDVMxJyD5fvLoEPxzRs46vOK4UfGfOrlVsyuleed6YRZk5&m=8zsAQ_0stQBKP3Aik46G1aowA6dIIGdedvW78fu3IYY&s=u6erLE0xe7mZxhDdpjikFHdjAJxC-7InNYjPFDultCk&e=</a>)
or similar CJK text-layout specifications that expect half-width forms of characters whose default glyphs are full-width. This differs from 'halt' in that the respacing is contextual. This feature may be invoked to get better fit for punctuation or symbol
glyphs without disrupting the monospaced alignment, such as for UIs or terminal apps.

<span lang="KO" style="font-family:"MS Gothic"">、</span> IDEOGRAPHIC COMMA, the latter is respaced to remove half-em of width between them.
<br>
> <br>
> Recommended implementation: The font stores a set of adjustments for pairs of glyphs (GPOS lookup type 2 or 8). These may be stored as one or more tables matching left and right classes, &/or as individual pairs. Additional adjustments may be provided for
larger sets of glyphs (e.g. triplets, quadruplets, etc.) to overwrite the results of pair kerns in particular combinations.
<br>
> <br>
> Application interface: The application passes a sequence of GIDs to the 'chws' table, and gets back adjusted positions (XPlacement, XAdvance, YPlacement, and YAdvance) for those GIDs. When using the type 2 lookup on a run of glyphs, it’s critical to remember
to not consume the last glyph, but to keep it available as the first glyph in a subsequent run (this is a departure from normal lookup behavior).
<br>
> <br>
> UI suggestion: This feature would be off by default. <br>
> <br>
> Script/language sensitivity: Used mostly in CJKV fonts. <br>
> <br>
