 I can use any other document as the testcase if it helps, I used that one 
simply because it seemed suitable to me. E.g. 
qadevOOo/testdocs/vertical-testcase.odt mentioned by Caolan seems better (but 
it's also Chinese if I'm getting it right).

 Is there a testcase for that?

 Thank you, this should be useful.

 I'm currently testing Skia with these and it seems these help a lot with the 
problems. tdf#137907 seems fixed, tdf#105650 seems to get fixed with your 
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/115015, I have a Skia-specific fix 
for tdf#136081 and even qadevOOo/testdocs/vertical-testcase.odt works for me 
now locally. I'll try to create unittests for these problems, and then I'll 
verify this all works.

right now?

 No. Skia is the default on Windows. It can also be used on Linux with 
the 'gen' VCL backend.
