I seem to recall that ADE on a desktop can display almost anything (arabic, vertical chinese characters), stuff that it can never display properly or at all on a reader device.

Font Choices in part, ADE 1.7 shipped with a default fonts (Myriad and Minion) that included the glyphs for the languages that it supported (European, and CJK, but not HATV - Hebrew, Arabic, Thai, Vietnamese).
That being said the vertical text support wasn't included until very recently in RMSDK ( not being part of the ePub spec, yet)
However RMSDK (and hence ADE) supports both PDF and ePubs, so most of what you are remembering about arabic or vertical tet was probably done with PDF.
For PDFs, the CPU matters and PDF is more usable on the desktop than on devices.
