For Traditional Chinese and Japanese, the text layout of each line is vertial. That is, the next glyph is beneth its precdence, not left to. Although horizontal layout is acceptable for these two languages, it's not the only solution.

It will be wonderful if EPUBReader can support such text layout in the future.

Hese is some demonstration of my ideas. It's using my personally patched FBReader.
