Caused by <http://trac.webkit.org/r145854>. Note that this has been broken before and then fixed in <http://trac.webkit.org/r124654>, but the test from that change didn’t detect this recent regression.

Comment 7 Enrica Casucci 2013-03-18 15:39:58 PDT
Prior to http://trac.webkit.org/r145854 we did not have the logic to avoid rotation for some characters.
When text is rendered using the fast path we choose the correct font and the appropriate glyph depending on whether or not the font has vertical glyphs.
Unfortunately this information doesn't filter down when we must use the complex path to render the text.
I'll fix it.
Comment 8 SiqinBilige 2013-05-24 21:26:11 PDT
The latest version of Google Chrome on Mac OS and Android also can not display Traditional Mongolian Language vertical way.

If the same thing happen on next version of Safari, there is no browser on Mac OS X , iOS and Android can correctly display Traditional Mongolian Language vertical way.

The Traditional Mongolian UNICODE range is from 1800 to 18AF.
http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1800.pdf
The Traditional Mongolian Language is vertical only language and can not have space between glyphs in one word.

Any one can help on this bug for 10 million mongolian people who using Traditional Mongolian Language in the world ?

Thank you.
Comment 9 SiqinBilige 2013-05-25 00:44:17 PDT
I read the latest (2013/05/24) source code of trunk/Source/WebCore/platform/graphics/FontFastPath.cpp.

It can fixed if change
    if (isInRange(character, 0x01100, 0x011FF) || isInRange(character, 0x01401, 0x0167F) || isInRange(character, 0x01800, 0x018FF))
        return true;
to
    if (isInRange(character, 0x01100, 0x011FF) || isInRange(character, 0x01401, 0x0167F) || isInRange(character, 0x018B0, 0x018FF))
        return true;
in the shouldIgnoreRotation function.

Traditional Mongolian(0x01800-0x018AF) Character need to Rotate in vertical mode(both lr and rl).
Comment 10 Koji Ishii 2013-05-25 22:34:49 PDT
Mongolian and Phags Pa are a bit tricky in UTR#50 and CSS Writing Modes Level 3.

UTR#50 defines glyph orientation against Unicode code chart. Because Mongolian and Phags Pa are vertical only scripts, the code chart has glyphs for vertical flow, so UTR#50 must define them as U (upright against the code chart.)

However, some font systems have pre-rotated glyphs for these scripts. This is mentioned in CSS Writing Modes Level 3:
 # In some systems (e.g. when using OpenType fonts), to correctly orient
 # a character belonging to the Mongolian or Phags-pa script upright, the
 # UA must actually typeset it sideways.
http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-writing-modes/#vertical-orientations

So such systems must change the interpretation of UTR#50 U value to R for Mongolian and Phags Pa, specifically:
U+1800-18AF
U+A840-A87F

The Traditional Mongolian Language's code and glyph not one to one mapping.
For each code there is 4(isol,init,medi,fina)X3(fvs1,fvs2,fvs3) glyphs(using private area) in maximum.
For a history reason(from DOS ?), the glyph in the font is horizontal way, not vertical way. so it need to rotate 90 clockwise in vertical mode(lr,rl).

The Phags Pa ( A type of Mongolian since 1269 ) has same layout  (top to bottom and left to right) as Traditiona Mongolian.

Why is removing this the right thing to do? It seems like we are testing less now. Why not still test this to make sure things are working properly?

A patch that fixes bugs normally needs to include new tests that cover what was fixed. Tests that fail before the fix and succeed after the fix.

Hallo SiqinBilige,

you have to use "-webkit-text-orientation: sideways-right;" as workaround so that Mongolian are shaped correctly. Here is my demo page: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16982795/mongol/test1.html

I have tested with Chrome and OperaNext on Mac. Both browsers can shape the Mongolian correctly (there is also another bug with 0x202F, see: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=155334).

Tuguldur

Thank you for your advise.
You are right, using "-webkit-text-orientation: sideways-right;" can display Traditional Mongolian Vertical way on Webkit like browsers.
But it is not good solution for the writing-mode:vertica-lr.
We are not only consider Traditional Mongolian only document.
We are must consider Traditional Mongolian mixed with other language document too. such as with CJK and Other symbols used in Traditional Mongolian document.

We believe you can understand our considering, after carefully look over screenshots below.

1. On Windows IE, correct CJK and symbols layout.
  mongolian_mixed_win_ie.png

2. On Windows Chrome, not correct CJK and symbols layout. (I can not download latest version of Webkit for windows)
  mongolian_mixed_win_chrome_no.png

3. On Windows Chrome (with "-webkit-text-orientation: sideways-right;"), not correct CJK and symbols layout.
  mongolian_mixed_win_chrome.png

4. On Mac OS Webkit, correct CJK and symbols layout.
  mongolian_mixed_mac_webkit_no.png

5. On Mac OS Webkit (with "-webkit-text-orientation: sideways-right;"), not correct CJK and symbols layout.
  mongolian_mixed_mac_webkit.png

It is what we are struggling here to fix this bug or want to fixed by some one else first.

> 
There is no bug about 0x202F.
You can confirm it look over the last line of screenshots.

But, there is a lot of other bugs about Traditional Mongolian(-webkit-writing-mode: vertical-lr;) forms in Webkit.

Well I think you have testet on Mac with Safari which uses AAT font. When you open the test page with Chrome on Mac or Linux, you can see that the word suffixes are shaped wrong. Pango/Linux got also same problem: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701652

The last two run is like this :
Unable to pass tests without patch (tree is red?) [results] 1 day, 8 hours ago
Pass 1 day, 9 hours ago
It is seeming to be stuck.

I don't think this is the right approach to the problem.
Mongolian text is rendered with the complex path and the reason why this fails is because the font has vertical glyphs but this information gets lost when we get to the point of preparing the glyphs to draw.
This fix will solve the problem only for Mongolian characters but not for all the other characters for which we should avoid rotation (those included in shouldAvoidRotation) when rendered with a font that has vertical glyphs for those characters.

Yes, you are right.
We believe you did work according the UTR#50. and you are did the best.
The problem is that the mongolian definitions in the unicode is not clear or the document about mongolian is not clear.
The fact is that all Existing Mongolian and Phags-Pa OpenType/TrueType/AAT fonts have counter-clockwise rotated glyphs.
We wrote a report about this in http://www.unicode.org/review/pri253/feedback.html.
May be there is mistake about english grammar, because  of my poor english.
The fast is that before this patch the all traditional home page is All OK, but is broken after the patch.

We download the latest version of webkit source and build it on windows.
We confirmed that There is no such a problem on windows platform.
Including Latest version of Other browsers like Google Chrome, Google Chromium, Opera Next, Safari.

But, There is a problem on Mac OS X and iOS and Android platform.
Including Webkit, Safari 6.1 Safari 7, Safari of iOS7
and latest version of Google Chrome,Opera Next.

The Google Chromium on Android is OK, but on Mac OS X did not.

You are correct. The problem does not occur on Windows, because the bug is specific of the Mac complex path for text drawing. The exclusion from rotation based on UTR#50 is correct, but the code in the complex text drawing path fails to handle correctly the case of fonts with vertical glyphs.
I'm pushing back on your fix, simply because it fixes the problem for mongolian characters but leaves it broken for all the fonts that have vertical glyphs for characters that should not be rotated.

If my patch can fixes the problem for mongolian characters and no minus efect on other conponent, we hope this patch is landed as soon as possible.
Becaurse, The all traditional mongolian sites were broken on latest version of chrome and operanext. We also confirmed that all traditional mongolian sites were broken on prerelease of Safari 6.1, Safari 7 and Safari of iOS7.
When thoese browsers are released, there weill be no browsers can correctly display existing traditional mongolian sites on Mac OS X and iOS.

I did not knew about it.
It is true that I unable to read the all source code about drawing text.
But, I tested some characters(not all) which should not rotated.
It seems to no problem on both vertical_rl and vertical_lr.

In UTR50 version 11, Mongolian(1800..18AF) and Phags-Pa(A840..A87F) moved from U to R.

In UTR50 version 11, Mongolian(1800..18AF) and Phags-Pa(A840..A87F) moved from U to R.
http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr50/tr50-11.html

As shown in the screenshot correct.png, it is what it should be expected, but in screenshot incorrect.png, the problem is still existing. Please pay attention to the textarea of vertical-lr(Mongolian) specifically in both screenshots. Where all these screenshots are taken from following page: http://www.mongolfont.com/test/webkit/div.html. 
Also you could test it by yourself using the URL.

Sorry for very very late follow-up, but I'm sorry to say that you misunderstood UTR#50. In short, Mogolian and Phags-Pa should be excluded from rotation, even if their fonts have vertical glyphs. I haven't looked at the details of the patch, but the approach is correct.

A long version. Up to rev. 10 of UTR#50, Mongolian and Phags-Pa were U, just because UTR#50 is defined against characters in the Unicode code charts, and these characters in the code charts are pre-rotated, so U means that "render as in the code charts."

The Unicode Technical Committee was aware of that almost every single font in the wild are pre-rotated, and therefore implementers must interpret U in the table to be R for Mongolian and Phags-Pa, but because fonts being pre-rotated is not defined in Unicode, and because code charts were already there, we hoped implementers read it correctly.

After revision 10 was published, we found that we were too optimistic. One implementer, WebKit, implemented Mongolian and Phags-Pa as U. By that time, we had a luck to update the Unicode Standard, so we changed the orientation of these characters in the code charts and updated UTR#50 to R.

Hope this makes sense.
