Rotate characters
1 Select the characters.
2 In the Character panel, type a value for Character Rotation Specify a minus value to rotate the character to the
right (clockwise).
Adjust aki before and after characters
1 Select opening parenthesis or closing parenthesis with the type tool.
2 Choose the amount of aki you want to add from the Mojikumi Before Character or Mojikumi After Character
pop-up menu, in the Character panel.
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.
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.
