Sign Customiser now supports proper top-down vertical writing for multilingual signs. Merchants can configure whether vertical columns read right to left or left to right, so customers can type natural multi-line text while the preview and manufacturing output keep the intended layout.

## What’s Changed

- **Multi-column vertical text**Each typed line becomes its own top-down column, making vertical Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, and traditional Mongolian layouts practical for customer-facing customisers
- **Merchant-controlled column direction**Choose right-to-left columns for Japanese, Traditional Chinese, and Korean signs, or left-to-right columns for traditional Mongolian signs
- **Natural order details**Cart details, order data, and exports keep the customer’s original typed text instead of replacing it with a generated column representation
- **Pricing stays logical**Base line pricing follows the typed input lines while letter charges still apply to each visible character
- **Font guidance in settings**The admin settings now remind merchants to upload fonts with the glyph coverage needed for their target language
