Unfortunately, I've no time just now to complete the code and to answer your questions in the good way. I will work on this on monday and tuesday. The library which rotate font is still on my machine but it is just for FontStruct. I can try to implement vertical font rendering but I may need some times (as one week if I do not fall on particular difficulty).
