I18N Tests: Vertical text

Writing-mode, single script

   Results

This is one of a set of pages that explore how and if a user agent supports vertical display of text using the writing-mode property.

The tests on this page check whether browsers support the default behaviour for vertical scripts using only characters from the native script (or 'scripts', for Japanese, which mixes kanji, hiragana and katakana). You should install the Code2000 font to run these tests. Choosing a specific font rules out potential errors related to OpenType font properties.
