[XeTeX] Advanced East Asian typesetting

[David J. Perry]

Gerrit,

Have you checked out the documentation for the fontspec package (designed to 
work with, and distributed along with, XeTeX)?  It has much info about using 
AAT or OT features with CJK typography including a vertical example.  I 
don't know any CJK languages myself so I can't say anything more about it, 
but there is a lot there.  See section 6.11 and following in the 
fontspec.pdf
