EVENT DESCRIPTION:

Originally presented at the Internationalization & Unicode Conference
in October 2007, this talk will describe some of the features that
enable the use of vertical text that have been or are planned for
inclusion in the W3C formatting standards, such as CSS, SVG and XSL.
The presenter will describe facilities for placing vertical text,
aligning mixed texts, such as Western alphabetic or Arabic texts with
East Asian texts.

Steve Zilles has been involved with the W3C since 1994 and has been a
participant in both the CSS and XSL Working Groups. He has worked for
Adobe Systems, Inc since 1992 in areas related to text formatting and
rendering. He was active in the design of the ISO print description
language and in the use of Postscript and PDF as standards for
publishing.
