Created attachment 185683 [details] Page style with vertical writing mode The page style in the attached document is set to "Right-to-Left (vertical)". That is the writing mode suitable for texts in East Asian scripts. All places relevant for the text box are set to style:writing-mode="page" in the file markup. Open the file. Error: The text in the text box is horizontal. The text should be vertical, see the linked part of the ODF spec. The API shows TextWritingMode="LR_TB" and WritingMode="0", corresponding to the wrong rendering. A text box is able to render vertical text. There even exists a predefined text box for vertical text. So the problem is not the rendering itself, but the fact that vertical rendering is not used.
