Paragraph Composer evaluates breaks for the entire paragraph and fits mojikumi on the basis of character spacing,

word spacing, and rules for even hyphenation. For CJK text, this is calculated as the difference between the actual

value of mojikumi aki inserted for full justification or kinsoku processing and the optimum value set in the Mojikumi

Settings dialog box. When the aki necessary for full line justification is more than the maximum aki, or when the

aki necessary for kinsoku processing is less than the minimum aki, an H&J violation occurs.

The Adobe Single-line Composer

Offers a traditional approach to composing text one line at a time. This option is useful if you want to restrict

composition changes from late stage edits, and you don’t care about some lines in the paragraph being very loose

while others fit perfectly.

Adobe Japanese Single-line Composer

Adobe Japanese Single-line Composer applies mojikumi by evaluating line breaks one line at a time, in the same

way as Single-line Composer.

Change CJK composition preferences

1. Choose Edit > Preferences > Composition (Windows) or InCopy > Preferences > Composition (Mac OS).

2. Under Mojikumi Compatibility Mode, do any of the following:

Select Use New Vertical Scaling to use the InDesign CS2 method of vertical scaling. Roman text is

typically rotated on its side, whereas CJK text may be upright. In previous versions of InDesign, when

you set glyph scaling in the Character panel, the X Scale and Y Scale attributes cause different results

depending on the orientation of the characters being scaled. In CS2 or later versions of InDesign and

InCopy, scaling affects all text in the line the same way, regardless of whether it’s rotated or upright. If

the text isn’t upright in vertical, the X Scaling and Y Scaling will be exchanged, resulting in the Roman

text being scaled in the same direction as the CJK upright text. This option is turned on for new

documents and turned off for documents from InDesign CS and earlier.

Select Use CID-Based Mojikumi to determine the correct JIS X 4051 Mojikumi Class using the glyphs

(jikei) of the font used instead of Unicode. Selecting this option is especially useful when you’re using

OpenType fonts. This feature supports all CID fonts of AdobeJapan1-0 through AdobeJapan1-6.

Unicode will be used with all other fonts.

3. Click OK.

Use mojikumi

Mojikumi specifies text composition for spacing of Japanese and Chinese characters, roman characters,

punctuation, special characters, line start, line end and numbers. For Korean text, mojikumi may not be applicable.

You can also specify paragraph indents.

For Japanese text, the existing character spacing rules in InDesign follow the Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS)

specification, JISx4051-1995. You can also select from InDesign predefined mojikumi sets. Furthermore, you can

create specific mojikumi sets, and change the values for character spacing.

For Chinese text, you can use mojikumi display settings for Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese. If these
