The translation team managed to change the vertical bar so that it became horizontal and made all the text to display from left to right. Unfortunately, they never finished the translation.

But there is so much win when playing on a large screen, that I don't bother when I have to do it.

Because if not... it's entirely possible that they would move the text boxes to the side when a CG is displayed. (At least that's the kind of thing I've seen done a few times in games with unconventional text placement.) Are there any screens out that show CGs?

This would eliminate problems with ero-scenes that others have previously pointed out in comments on this article.

Most book is still written top down so it would makes it hard to english translation... which I am sure they don't give too much care about. since you can read it both ways, it doesn't' really matter to an average Japanese.

They may well render the text left to right, either in columns or not, rather than the way it's read. It wouldn't affect the player at all, and might work with their existing engine with less work. AGTH by itself couldn't deal with it if that's the case. Not necessarily. They may well render the text left to right, either in columns or not, rather than the way it's read.

Even the family PC's monitor has a setting titled "fill to aspect ratio". Then as Anonymous said above, your video cards settings should have a feature to alter the aspect ratio.
