Vertical typesetting
--------------------

This is an experimental feature. Any suggestions are welcome.

hbf2gf has been modified so that it now can produce rotated glyphs; this
makes it possible to emulate vertical typesetting.

[ttf2pk of the FreeType package does not yet support rotation; this is on my
 TODO list.]

It's simple to install rotated glyph support:

o   in your LateX 2e documents you should say

        \usepackage{CJKvert}        .

    This will create poor man's bold characters using vertical shifts
    instead of horizontal displacements.

    Only Big 5 encoding provides some characters for vertical typesetting;
    for other encodings you will get poor results if you don't have a
    font with vertical punctuation characters.

o   to install a rotated font which will be handled by hbf2gf simply proceed
    as usual with one difference: you have to add a line

        rotation  yes

    to the hbf2gf config file of this font. x_offset and y_offset values
    must be adjusted too. Look at the example config file b5kr12.cfg for
    details---as you can see, the name of the non-rotated glyph (b5ka12)
    has been changed to `b5kr12'.
