For vertical writing in CJK I've seen fonts whose glyphs were rotated by
90°, but I don't remember the details, it was many years ago on a
different operating system.

Rotating hanzi glyphs 90° counterclockwise (and printing in Lanscape
orientation when you want a Portrait result) will of course result in
columnar text, with the first column on the right, as the Chinese used
to print (and often still do when not mixing CJK and alphabetic text).


Best regards,
Tony.
