glyph-orientation-vertical

A deprecated property used in SVG to control the orientation of characters when text is written vertically. Use 'text-orientation' in modern CSS instead.

The web standards community has deprecated this feature. Browsers are actively phasing out support for it.

/* Usage Example */
svg text {
  /* Legacy orientation for vertical SVG text */
  glyph-orientation-vertical: 90deg;
}

/* Global values */
glyph-orientation-vertical: inherit;
glyph-orientation-vertical: initial;
glyph-orientation-vertical: revert;
glyph-orientation-vertical: revert-layer;
glyph-orientation-vertical: unset;
Limited availability Since 2020 14% global usage

This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.
