Windows GDI Vertical Glyph Positioning for Chinese/Japanese text

Hi!

I’m writing a Windows device driver for a graphics-type device that would be
able to render truetype fonts for vertical-style text (chinese, japanese,
etc.).

Right now I am a bit puzzled regarding the x,y coordinate system the Windows
GDI is using when rendering vertical text.

On my device driver, the rendered vertical glyphs are slightly off-center.

Does anyone know the assumptions Windows GDI makes regarding x,y positioning
of glyphs for vertical characters?

Any links to references and documents will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Barry
