Memoir with vertical Japanese text
Pander
Well, here is a complex CJK question with memoir. How can I get
Japanese text in vertical mode in a document that:
- is processed by XeLaTeX
- uses documentclass memoir with fontspec and unicode support
- uses ruby/furigana with hiragana, katakana and romaji on the kanji
- shows vertical glyphs for the Japanese punctuation, chōonpu, etc.
Please see the XeLaTeX UTF-8 file below for details which covers most
of the challanges.
Thanks,
Pander

How to get this dummy text in vertical mode (top-to-bottom)? Note that
many things will have to rotate in a complex way or even get other a
special vertical text mode glyph, see also:\\

「\ruby{典}{ん}」…\ruby{剣}{でんて}\ruby{雅}{ンー}‥『\ruby{傳}{ky$\bar{\mbox{o}}$}』、
ky$\bar{\mbox{o}}$・ンー・っッ。
Also \textbackslash=o (\=o) or unicode character o-with-macron (ō) is
not producing a macron o but a space. How to solve this?

{\bfseries Vertical text in memoir with XeLaTeX, fontspec and unicode,
part 2}
First of all, is is important to use a font that supports this, e.g.:\
\
http://anzawa.ps.land.to/bin/KouzanMouhituFont.zip\\
Most of the Japanese fonts shipped with Ubuntu Linux don't work
properly in vertical texts. Does anyone know why this is?
Note that many things will have to rotate in a complex way or even a
special glyph, see also:\\
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese\_punctuation\#Japanese\_punctuation\_marks\\
The fontspec manual paragraph 6.17 refers to the AAT Renderer. Why is
this? I don't see a difference.
Apparently, why sometimes the macron is not working in romji, is
simply because those glyphs were not supported by that particular
font.
{\fontspec{KouzanBrushFont}
「\ruby{典}{ん}」…\ruby{剣}{でんて}\ruby{雅}{ンー}‥『\ruby{傳}{ky$\bar{\mbox{o}}$}』、
ky$\bar{\mbox{o}}$ンー・っッ。}
{\fontspec[Vertical=RotatedGlyphs]{KouzanBrushFont}
\rotatebox{-90}{「\ruby{典}{ん}」…\ruby{剣}{でんて}\ruby{雅}{ンー}‥『\ruby{傳}{ky$
\bar{\mbox{o}}$}』、 ky$\bar{\mbox{o}}$ンー・っッ。}}
%{\fontspec[Renderer=AAT,Vertical=RotatedGlyphs]{KouzanBrushFont}
%\rotatebox{-90}{「\ruby{典}{ん}」…\ruby{剣}{でんて}\ruby{雅}{ンー}‥『\ruby{傳}{ky$
\bar{\mbox{o}}$}』、 ky$\bar{\mbox{o}}$ンー・っッ。}}
Current errors in vertical mode are:
\begin{itemize}
\item vertical glyph not used for punctuation
{\fontspec{KouzanBrushFont}「」『』…‥・、。}
\item vertical glyph not used for katakana
{\fontspec{KouzanBrushFont}ッー}
\item vertical glyph not used for hiragana
{\fontspec{KouzanBrushFont}っ}
\item incorrect use of macron in romaji in ruby (I assume, otherwise
it should be closer at least)
\end{itemize}
How can these be fixed?
