You can see what I have seen on LO 5.1.4 when I insert vertical Tangut text

The Tangut script was introduced in Unicode last month, but its orientation looks incorrect in LibreOffice. When I opened LO Writer, insert a text box, put Tangut characters, I found every glyphs rotated 90° when I switched to vertical layout mode. 

Every Tangut characters should be upright in vertical text, if you need materials now, you can see: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Tangut_script

I used BabelStone Tangut Wenhai font to render Tangut text: http://www.babelstone.co.uk/Fonts/Wenhai.html

Comment 4 ⁨خالد حسني⁩ 2016-10-26 15:42:15 UTC
To fix this we need to first upgrade to ICU 58 as we currently use ICU 57 which does not support Unicode 9.0 and we end up not recognizing the script of Tangut characters.

I think you will need to find a different font (https://twitter.com/KhaledGhetas/status/800762150956384256), or Volga can send you his copy.

Wow, I am also surprised that BabelStone homepage gives 404. I guess you can get it from Internet Archive.

Yes it is working correctly at 5.3.0beta1. See attached screen clip...

I'll send Andrew West at BableStone a note asking his thoughts about support for Tangut and status of his Tangut Wenhai font.

What happened if you close OGL?

sample Tangut text as paragraphs in a new 4 colum RTL vertical page

That's odd, with OpenGL _disabled_ the vertical text is not rotated in either the original attachment 128274 [details] document's RTL vertical Text Frame--or with the same paragraphs copied into a multi-column RTL page in a new 5.4.0.0aplpha0+ document (attached).

Enable OpenGL and either document renders correctly.

Sample document attached uses the BableStone Tangut Wenhai (Version 1.002 May 21, 2016).

I need to first be able to reproduce the issue (which I don’t), simply upgrading to newer HarfBuzz version will not do much.

BableStone Tangut Wenhai in vertical layout being clipped on right edge

Attached a clip of Tangut Wenhai in vertical layout. Right edge of each glyph is being clipped.

However, IIUC while we have already moved to ICU 58 [1], the BableStone Tangut Wenhai did not have the vertical header table (vhea) and vertical metrics table (vmtx) defined.

One of the reasons that Andrew West took it down (the other being he'd only prepared glyphs for about half of the script defined at Unicode 9.0).

When a valid ttf/otf font for Tangut script is available, beleive it should function in vertical layout as any other CJK font.

Otherwise this is not valid, back to resolved fixed.

Yeah, I hope I can get the expected results with newer build.

OK, it works for me after I open the file with LODev 5.4.0 alpha0, and I enabled OpenGL. But the initial characters always clipped, and when I disabled OpenGL, they are sideways.

To get better effect, I got Tangut N4694 font from comment 26.
