The Maplex Label Engine enables vertical character orientation for proper display of vertical Asian text. This allows the horizontal display of individual characters when the label is placed vertically. A single label will not mix vertical and horizontal layouts, and the text symbol will be updated to draw text with a vertical layout above 45 degrees and a horizontal layout under 45 degrees.
This option is only available if the font has vertical text metrics.
