dotCooCoo f8307b19cd Type: on a vertical path, letters lie a quarter turn clockwise from upright glyphs, in a column centered on the path
Follows #5557. Letters and digits lying on their side in vertical type on
a path kept their top toward the path's end, opposite the upright glyphs.
They are now set as horizontal type on the path sets them: baseline along
the path, top to the path's left, a quarter turn clockwise from upright
glyphs (CSS Writing Modes 3, Unicode UAX #50).

- The column is centered on the path: upright glyphs, letters on their
  side and tate-chu-yoko blocks have their em box centers on the path
  line instead of a column one em wide to the path's right.
- Upright glyphs are turned in the path effect's glyph space, so with
  Skew on a curve their top runs back along the tangent and their x axis
  stays up the page, as letters keep theirs.
- Tate-chu-yoko blocks on a path stand upright, stay whole on a curve and
  move by Tate-chu-yoko Settings toward the path's start and left.
- A tate-chu-yoko block of mixed sizes sets every glyph in its first
  character's em, on a path and off it.

Existing vertical type on a path redraws with these placements.
