Specify hanging punctuation for Roman fonts

Hanging punctuation controls the alignment of punctuation marks for a specific paragraph. When Roman Hanging

Punctuation is turned on, the following characters appear outside the margins: single quotes, double quotes,

apostrophes, commas, periods, hyphens, em

dashes, en dashes, colons, and semicolons. When a punctuation character

is followed a quotation mark, both characters hang.

Keep in mind that the paragraph alignment determines the margin from which the punctuation hangs. For left-aligned

and right-aligned paragraphs, punctuation hangs off the left and right margin, respectively. For top-aligned and

bottom-aligned paragraphs, punctuation hangs off the top and bottom margin, respectively. For centered and justified

paragraphs, punctuation hangs off both

margins.

Paragraph without hanging punctuation (left) compared to paragraph with hanging punctuation (right)

1 Do one of the following:

• Select a type layer if you want all the paragraphs in that type layer to be affected.

• Select the paragraphs you want affected.

2 Choose Roman Hanging Punctuation from the Paragraph panel menu. A check mark indicates that the option is

selected.

Note: Double-byte punctuation marks available in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean fonts in the selected range will not

hang when you use Roman Hanging Punctuation. Instead, use either Burasagari Standard or Burasagari Strong. These

items are available only if you select Show Asian Text Options in the Type preferences.
