Consider adding support for Mongolian text layout.

Open siqinbilige opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

Mongolian-based systems are typically written using a top-to-bottom inline direction with a rightward (left-to-right) block flow direction. There is no Monglian text editor on Mac and iOS. Mongolian text layout is same as the vertical layout which CotEditor has. Except the lines line up from left to right. https://www.w3.org/TR/css-writing-modes-3/#text-flow

It's actually way harder than the current CotEditor's vertical layout, because Apple doesn't provide any API for vertical+left-to-right text layout.

However, I'm personally interested in implimenting this feature. I can't say "I'll do it" now, but I'll consider.
