Deprecated: This feature is no longer recommended. Though some browsers might still support it, it may have already been removed from the relevant web standards, may be in the process of being dropped, or may only be kept for compatibility purposes.

The glyph-orientation-horizontal attribute affects the amount that the current text position advances as each glyph is rendered.
When the reference orientation direction is horizontal and the glyph-orientation-horizontal results in an orientation angle that is a multiple of 180 degrees, then the current text position is incremented according to the horizontal metrics of the glyph. Otherwise, if the value of this attribute is not a multiple of 180 degrees, then the current text position is incremented according to the vertical metrics of the glyph.
This attribute is applied only to text written in a horizontal writing-mode.
Note: As a presentation attribute, glyph-orientation-horizontal can be used as a CSS property.
You can use this attribute with the following SVG elements:
