glyph-orientation-verticalLimited availability

The glyph-orientation-vertical CSS property sets the orientation of glyphs in text rendered in a vertical writing mode.

Not yet supported in all major browsers — check the table and provide a fallback.

Discouraged: The glyph-orientation-vertical property was defined by SVG 1.1 and formally obsoleted by SVG 2. Use instead: text-orientation
