PostScript Japanese fonts have always had these 53 vertical variants at the 84-row oset.
Under KanjiTalk6, Mac OS had to further oset the vertical variants—which were already

Table 6-49 summarizes the two types of osets for handling vertical variants under
KanjiTalk, Mac OS-J, and JLK.

vertical variants. If no ‘tate’ table exists, Mac OS assumes that a 10-row oset is desired.
PostScript Japanese fonts, therefore, must explicitly indicate an 84-row oset by using the
‘tate’ table and setting its value to 6.
FONDedit, a utility provided to developers by Apple, was able to properly create and set a
‘tate’ table in ‘FOND’ resources.
Microsoft Windows—2000, XP, and Vista
Windows 2000, XP, and Vista support OpenType fonts natively. And, compared to earlier

dling fonts is much better.
