Hi, 

Out of curiosity, I tried compiling the followingup manual with ConTeXt LMTX 2024.09.25. I did not check the whole manual, but section 6 seems to render fine as far as I can tell, up to two small issues (not sure whether they are due to changes in ConTeXt or to font issues on my side): 

* I had to replace NotoSansCJKtc-VF with the name of the font file (NotoSansCJK-Regular.ttc) in followingup-directions.tex . (I suspect that may be due to my system not having the ‘right’ font installed.

* The glyphs are not rotated in Figure 6.12. Figure 6.11 looks correct, though.

So at least one of the methods mentioned in followingup-directions.tex seems to work with the latest version of ConTeXt LMTX.

Cheers,
Florent

there is something mentioned in followingup-directions.tex

i removed top to bottom directions from luametatex because it made no
sense; one cannot do vertical typesettign without also looking at the
layout and other things

instead of directions we do rotation at the glyph level and such which
has less interference and more flexible

but ... i haven't looked at it recently (could be broken by other
features) as there is little demand for it
