Full support to Mongolian vertical LTR and reading its font open type feature to combine characters
Full support to Mongolian vertical LTR and reading its font open type feature to combine characters. Currently using Mongolian Baiti or Noto Sans Mongolian fonts the characters in the words do not connect to the correct initial, medial or final forms. Only isolated forms are displayed. We tried any current settings but the characters do not combine. Is there a function to do this? We have not found any plug-ins so far. Perhaps it could be that the open type tables are not read which may be one reason for this. See the attached IndDesign file

At least, support Mongolian vertical LTR display and edit.
inDesign now can display and edit CJK vertical text (right to left). but not Mongolian vertical text ( left to right ).
see indesign_mongolian_vertical_text.png.

I found the answer. In the Paragraph Styles and the Open Type Feature menu when I change the Positional Form to Automatic Form it works and the characters connect.
