Same post viewed in Lemmy, it's all squashed into the same space as horizontal text.

I see the vertical text overlaps UI elements in the Notifications window too. And in comments.

I have deployed a fix. Thanks for bringing this up.
-
Thanks for handling it. :)

How will you deal with actual vertical text?

People trying to be 'cool & edgy' but it really just marks them as annoying idiots. Thanks for the self inflicted Scarlet Letter.

Shame nobody 🧵 posted actual vertical text:
ᠪᠣᠰᠰᠣᠣ ᠲеᠻᠰᠲ☝️ If you don't see this vertically, your client is lying to you.
Also, 🖕 Unicode.

@AntiBullyRanger @klu9 I would like to see the verticle text in action, where can I load this to see it?

- I have since found out this not actually vertical text but something called Zalgo text, which adds lots of diacritics above and below letters to make the end result very tall. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zalgo_text
- I haven't seen actual vertical text on PieFed yet.

I'm honestly at a loss for recommendations. I tried Iceraven, and it didn't have reading or vertical text mode. Einkbro’s orientation is jarring for LtR language mixed with verticals:
.In portrait mode, it should paragraph leftward. Ideally a 25 character wrap to indent the next line in the paragraph. I’ll try make an html+css example later.

I love all the things unicode support by default but one should not be ashamed to refuse to support some features.

Not vertical for me :(
I don't know what that stuff in the post in question is, so I just called it vertical text. Until I squinted, I thought it might have been Manchu script :D

Switch 𐑑 client 𐑞𐑑 1) displays vertical text 2) 𐑯 has recursive font support. 𐑓 Mongolian Bichig, Gecko is recommended. (Not by me). Mongolian White is rec. as well.
Here’s how our exchange should have looked like:
Like others already mentioned 🧵, «Zalgo» is randomized unicode diacritics abuse. If 𐑘𐑹 client escaped 𐑞 diacritics, 𐑘𐑹 font is displaying diacritics correctly.
𐑖𐑱𐑝𐑾𐑯 subs used

For what other purpose does vertical text exist I ask you.
"Forget your perfect offering. There is a crack, in everything. That's how the light gets in."

The typical example given is Japanese text traditionally being written vertically, but I am doubtful that it has any uses in a forum. That's a bit like claiming that you need cursive fonts because it is traditional in western countries.

Cool way to make zalgo text, kinda.

This reminded me: One day I tried to read some Japanese novel in EPUB format. The text inside is, like many Japanese novel, vertical right-to-left.
None of the epub reader except Google Play Books displays it correctly, vertical right-to-left
