Thank you for your reply. At first, I thought character switching as you suggested may be enough but there are several characters do not fit with this workaround such as parenthesis.
(A) goes ( A ) Dedicated fonts for vertical text used to be used ever, but modern font files contain rotated version of glyphs with vhea and vmtx data in themselves so that they can be switched automatically in a vertical text. I think iText already uses this facility because when I used standard font such as "HeiseiKakuGo-W5" those are rotated correctly. If so, there may be a short cut. As long as using only "HeiseiKakuGo-W5" or "HeiseiMin-W3" there's no problem. I wish I could use variety of fancy fonts. Thanks.
