Is there any standard or most common orientation for vertical text - somehow it seems off to me reading bottom-to-top rather than top-to-bottom.

- jrockway 16y agoThere's not, in English anyway, but most books these days are designed to have the spine text upright when the book is stacked with the cover facing up. Not surprisingly, Oracle went with the opposite. I believe there is a Wikipedia article that discusses the direction of text on book spines in detail, but I can't recall the name of it.
