Oops, stop the presses!  (Heheh.)

There is a problem with the GSUB part of the simplified Chinese fonts.

This is what I get in my own logs:

  fontforge -script vertical.pe gbsn00lp.ttf gbsnuv
  Copyright (c) 2000-2008 by George Williams.
   Executable based on sources from 16:34 GMT 30-Mar-2008.
   Library based on sources from 15:57 GMT 30-Mar-2008.
  Loading gbsn00lp.ttf...
  Bad lookup table: format=6, first=65535 total glyphs in font=7764
  No vertical glyph representation forms found.

  Check Werner Lemberg's postings a few months ago, and see what the problem
  was with Arphic's GSUB tables (does it even contain them?).


I haven't yet figured out how to deal with this; the only quick solution is
to provide the files myself, but then that's "cheating", and then I could
just try to get the fonts from TeXlive instead of bothering to compile the fonts.

Without the "gbsnuv*" and "gkaiuv*" files, vertical rotation doesn't work.

Is it possible to add the .sfd in a texlive-* package?  It's included in
TeXlive upstream (http://tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Master/texmf/fonts/sfd/).
