Why was NSAttributedString.Key.verticalGlyphForm Deprecated in macOS 14, and How to Handle Vertical Text Now?

In macOS 14, NSAttributedString.Key.verticalGlyphForm has been deprecated. This key was previously used for rendering text vertically, particularly in languages like Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. I'm curious about the reasons behind its deprecation and would appreciate insights into alternative methods for displaying vertical text.

  • I have the same question. I am using Japanese fonts that should render differently in vertical and horizontal format. It's not just a minor or cosmetic issue: the charaters are different. What's the alternative?
