+
+	Really fix Savannah bug #28678 (part 2).
+
+	Since we consider `sbw' for the horizontal direction only, we still have
+	to synthesize vertical metrics if the user wants to use the vertical
+	writing direction.
+
+	* src/cff/cffgload.c (cff_slot_load), src/cid/cidgload.c
+	(cid_slot_load_glyph), src/type1/t1gload.c (T1_Load_Glyph):
+	Synthesize vertical metrics (only) if FT_LOAD_VERTICAL_LAYOUT is
+	set.
