Vertical text: rendering mismatch inkscape/batik

[Bug Importer]

I made a simple SVG with two texts, one line horizontal,
one line vertical (no, not 90deg rotated, but writing
downwards). I've overlaped the letter E in both lines,
so that they cross there.

Seen in firefox, gimp and a few other SVG tools, the
text that is supposed to be vertical, is not vertical,
but horizontal. Looks the same in all SVG tools, except
inkscape.

Versions:
Inkscape 0.44.1 (Sep 7 2006)
FC6-test3
kernel 2.6.18

File attached.

We only accept Batik as an authoritative SVG renderer. In
Batik, this text does show vertical, though differently than
in Inkscape. So there's indeed a bug here, but not the one
you assumed. All other "SVG tools" just don't support
vertical text at all.

Just to mention, Opera renders it the same as Batik, so I take that as extra confirmation that Batik has the right behavior (as usual).

[Beluga (buovjaga)]

Firefox and GIMP now show the YES! as vert, but in the wrong position, so ! and ? overlap.
