Sigil 0.7.4 and Calibre viewer 1.15:
- text displayed vertical
- asian characters on the side
- latin characters on the side

Chrome 31 and IE10:
- text displayed vertical
- asian character displayed normally
- latin characters displayed on the side
(IE10 needs : writing-mode:tb-rl instead of writing-mode:vertical-rl)

Firefox 25
writing-mode doesn't work anyway.
The rotation below applies to the characters:
-moz-transform: rotate(90deg);

Here is the stylesheet I used

body {
  writing-mode:tb-rl;
  -epub-writing-mode: vertical-rl;
  -webkit-writing-mode: vertical-rl;
  line-break: normal;
  -epub-line-break: normal;
  -webkit-line-break: normal;
}

The good news is that it finally displayed fine on my Kobo Glo reader 3.1.1 (using jgoguen plugin).

Is there a way to manually edit the css?
