- Latin characters in vertical text will be drawn by default sideways.
This is the default direction in both SVG 1.1 and in CSS 3 Writing Modes. Currently Inkscape draws the glyphs upright.
For Latin characters how does that differ from rotated horizontal text? Isn't vertical text for Latin characters to be used in those situations where the glyphs are to be drawn "head to toe", as it were, as on the neon name sign on a theater? Like this:
