I guess vertical typesetting is a little more involved, but as far as horizontal typesetting goes, most of the spacing is coded into the font already (monospacing).
ConTeXt MkIV doesn’t support vertical writing but with a little bit of TeX knowledge it’s possible to add it, the result is not perfect [1] (there is no space between the characters) but it shows it can be done.
just use columnsets with 1em width columns
This is no option when quotation marks are used and other characters which can’t be broken at the end of line. Another advantage of LuaTeX’s vertical mode is that you can use \underbar and other commands which aren’t possible with columnsets. The output in my example would be nicer when the width (or height?) of each character had been 1em (or more). Wolfgang
