Align Asian characters with mojisoroe

Mojisoroe is the alignment of characters in Asian type. When a line of text contains different sizes of characters, you

can specify how to align text to the largest characters in the line: to the top, center, or bottom of the em box (right,

center, and left for vertical frames), to the roman baseline, or to the top or bottom of the ICF box (right or left for

vertical frames). ICF (Ideographic Character Space) is the average height and width used by the font designer to design

the ideographic characters which comprise a font.

collection of glyphs of the Asian fonts produced by Adobe.
