Description Makoto Kato 2015-04-01 01:32:27 UTC 
Although I post the suggestion to https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2015-March/msg00079.html, GTK is lack of hint of vertical layout for input method.

Other OS already has the following method / attribute for this case.

OSX / Cocoa
drawsVerticallyForCharacterAtIndex method
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/NSTextInputClient_Protocol/index.html#//apple_ref/occ/intfm/NSTextInputClient/drawsVerticallyForCharacterAtIndex:

Windows / TSF
TSATTRID_Text_VerticalWriting attirubte
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms629018%28v=vs.85%29.aspx


We (Mozilla) requires this API for GTK to improve vertical layout support.

Could you add hint of vertical text layout such as GTK_INPUT_HINT_VERTICAL_WRITING to GtkInputHints?
