Operation Manual

To the top
Select Use Open Type Pro Ruby Glyphs to use alternate glyphs for ruby (when possible). Specific kana
characters are available for some Open Type Pro fonts. When you select this option, the specific font for ruby
characters, and not the standard kana font, will be used.
In KumiNumber, specify the number of successive half-width characters that you want to rotate to vertical
orientation. For example, if this is set to 2, the character string "123" will not rotate, while "12" will.
Select Include Roman Characters to apply tate-chu-yoko to roman text.
Select Scale to Fit to force the tate-chu-yoko to have the same dimensions (1 em x 1 em) in the ruby string,
either using an OpenType feature or scaling the glyphs.
Adjustment When Ruby Is Longer Than Parent
With Overhang, when the total Ruby width is greater than that of their parent characters, the specified Ruby
will overflow widthways into the space above characters either side of the parents. For Japanese, character
types compatible with Overhang comply with the JISx4051-1995 specification.
Specify the parent character spacing necessary for attaching ruby in Spacing. When you select a different
option, the graphics displayed in the sample field are updated.
To automatically adjust the ruby character width, select Char Width Scaling, and specify the compression
scale for the width of the ruby characters.
Select Auto Align at Line Edges to align the parent with the start and end of the line.
Ruby Color
Select a color swatch in the list box.
Specify the degree of tinting and line weight, as necessary.
Select Overprint Fill or Overprint Stroke to set filling or stroke overprint for ruby characters.
(See Determining when to overprint manually.)
Apply kenten
Kenten (also known as Boten ) are points which you attach to text you want to highlight. You can select the type of
points from existing kenten forms, or specify customized kenten characters. You can also specify the position,
scale, and color by adjusting the kenten settings.
