For example, if you specify 2bu, half a full-width space is added, and if you specify 4bu, a quarter of a full-width
space is added. This aki will not be adjusted when the line is set to full justification. Adjusting aki is especially
useful to override Mojikumi Akiryo Settings for certain characters.
Adding aki before opening parenthesis
Use tate-chu-yoko
Using tate-chu-yoko (also known as kumimoji or renmoji) is an option to make a part of the text horizontal, in
vertical text. It is easier to read half-width characters such as numbers, dates, and short foreign words in a vertical
text frame, by rotating the text.
Before and after applying tate-chu-yoko
You can move text left, right, up, and down when you turn on the Tate-chu-yoko option. You can also set Auto
Tate-chu-yoko for special half-width characters. Auto Tate-chu-yoko is set in the paragraph attributes.
Use tsume or tracking in the Character panel to adjust the character spacing for Tate-chu-yoko.
