Vertical text in Servo, 2014-12-01

Servo is currently basically the only browser engine that supports native rendering of vertical texts

As much as I love hearing from people that Servo is awesome, this is not correct.

First, vertical text support in Servo is currently (2014-12-01) experimental (behind an off-by-default flag), in early stages of development, and very buggy. So saying that we support is is a bit of a stretch :)

Second, other browsers have it too, although I don’t know how complete or how buggy. Microsoft has had some form of it since IE 5 (!), WebKit/Blink have it prefixed, and Firefox has it in Nightly.
