P: Cyrillic letters on the spine of the book cover don't turn 90 degrees to the right

The title letters in Cyrillic fonts (e.g. Russian) don't print correctly on the spine of the cover. Normally, they should be turned 90 degrees to the right. What I see is that they keep standing.

Dorin, it is quite possible that the spine text on Russian books is printed bottom-to-top. Frankly speaking, I have never given a thought to this matter. As long as the letters are turned 90 degrees. Maybe, even a better idea would be to make it an option to choose whether one wishes the letters to stand or to be turned left or right.

Reproduced.

Also, as far as I know, russian tradition (and also in continental Europe too?) is to print spine text bottom-to-top, and not top-to-bottom as in US or UK.
