Same post viewed in Lemmy, it's all squashed into the same space as horizontal text.

@AntiBullyRanger @klu9 I would like to see the verticle text in action, where can I load this to see it?

  • I have since found out this not actually vertical text but something called Zalgo text, which adds lots of diacritics above and below letters to make the end result very tall. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zalgo_text
  • I haven't seen actual vertical text on PieFed yet.

I'm honestly at a loss for recommendations. I tried Iceraven, and it didn't have reading or vertical text mode. Einkbro’s orientation is jarring for LtR language mixed with verticals:

the excerpt below.

In portrait mode, it should paragraph leftward. Ideally a 25 character wrap to indent the next line in the paragraph. I’ll try make an html+css example later.
