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:
