I have some special needs that requires all the characters be rotated by 90 degrees. I've searched around the web and maybe adding /FontMatrix [0 1 -1 0 0 0] to the font descriptor dictionary is helpful. But I can't find a \pdf??? primitive that can achieve this. (Am I wrong about this?)
Another solution might be the "vrt2" font feature. There's no difference between the results with or without enabling the feature. But I do see the font has the feature by using the shell command: otfinfo -f
I don't know exactly how it's supposed to look like, especially kerning, vertical spacing, etc. Just making sure you know about \applytocharacters: \starttext \applytocharacters\rotate{Foo Bar} \stoptext as well as \handletokens Foo Bar\with\rotate Maybe that's already sufficient for your use case.
