Issues for vertical layout on Mac

[aron <ar...@gmail.com>]

Hi
   I reported a vertical layout issues under Mac at here
https://www.libreoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=86768
   also reported it at OpenOffice's bugzilla
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=125908

Like shown in the illustration below, both Mongolian and English text is
not handled correctly on vertical layout mode under Mac(and Ubuntu too
although there is no Ubuntu's screen shot at here).

It looks like OSX's CoreText does funny things when vertical mode is 
requested for fonts that don't understand the concept of vertical mode.

I suggest to experiment with the pCFVertBool variable in 
main/vcl/aqua/source/gdi/ctfonts.cxx or by disabling the line setting 
the value for KCTVerticalFormsAttributeName altogether. If it shows that 
only fonts without OpenType's "vert" or "vrt2" feature are affected we 
could add a check for this and then work around this CoreText problem.

I've updated the AOO issue you reported accordingly.

Attachments are stripped from mails sent to this mailing list so the 
images cannot be seen. But they are available in the issue you reported.
